O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily! Those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatched away a thing from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought.
Enyi watu! Unapigwa mfano, basi usikilizeni. Hakika wale mnao waomba badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu, hawatoumba hata nzi ijapo kuwa watajumuika kwa hilo. Na nzi akiwapokonya kitu hawawezi kukipata kwake. Amedhoofika kweli huyo mwenye kutaka na mwenye kutakiwa.
