Say, “I have no power to benefit or protect myself, except by the Will of Allah. If I had known the unknown, I would have benefited myself enormously, and no harm would have ever touched me. I am only a warner and deliverer of good news for those who believe.”
۞ هُوَ
ٱلَّذِي
خَلَقَكُم

نَّفۡسٖ
وَٰحِدَةٖ
وَجَعَلَ
مِنۡهَا
زَوۡجَهَا
لِيَسۡكُنَ
إِلَيۡهَاۖ
فَلَمَّا
تَغَشَّىٰهَا
حَمَلَتۡ
حَمۡلًا
خَفِيفٗا
فَمَرَّتۡ
بِهِۦۖ
فَلَمَّآ

ٱللَّهَ
رَبَّهُمَا
لَئِنۡ
ءَاتَيۡتَنَا

ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ

He is the One Who created you from a single soul, then from it made its spouse so he may find comfort in her. After he had been united with her, she carried a light burden that developed gradually. When it grew heavy, they prayed to Allah, their Lord, “If you grant us good offspring, we will certainly be grateful.”
فَلَمَّآ
ءَاتَىٰهُمَا
صَٰلِحٗا
جَعَلَا
لَهُۥ
شُرَكَآءَ
فِيمَآ
ءَاتَىٰهُمَاۚ
فَتَعَٰلَى
ٱللَّهُ
عَمَّا
يُشۡرِكُونَ
١٩٠
But when He granted their descendants good offspring, they associated false gods in what He has given them. Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺!
أَيُشۡرِكُونَ
مَا
لَا
يَخۡلُقُ
شَيۡـٔٗا
وَهُمۡ
يُخۡلَقُونَ
١٩١
Do they associate ˹with Allah˺ those ˹idols˺ which cannot create anything, but are in fact created;
وَلَا
يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ
لَهُمۡ
نَصۡرٗا
وَلَآ
أَنفُسَهُمۡ
يَنصُرُونَ
١٩٢
which cannot help them, or even help themselves?
وَإِن
تَدۡعُوهُمۡ
إِلَى
ٱلۡهُدَىٰ
لَا
يَتَّبِعُوكُمۡۚ
سَوَآءٌ
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
أَدَعَوۡتُمُوهُمۡ
أَمۡ
أَنتُمۡ
صَٰمِتُونَ
١٩٣
And if you ˹idolaters˺ call upon them for guidance, they cannot respond to you. It is all the same whether you call them or remain silent.
إِنَّ
ٱلَّذِينَ
تَدۡعُونَ
مِن
دُونِ
ٱللَّهِ
عِبَادٌ
أَمۡثَالُكُمۡۖ
فَٱدۡعُوهُمۡ
فَلۡيَسۡتَجِيبُواْ
لَكُمۡ
إِن
كُنتُمۡ
صَٰدِقِينَ
١٩٤
Those ˹idols˺ you invoke besides Allah are created beings like yourselves. So call upon them and see if they will answer you, if your claims are true!
أَلَهُمۡ
أَرۡجُلٞ
يَمۡشُونَ
بِهَآۖ
أَمۡ
لَهُمۡ
أَيۡدٖ
يَبۡطِشُونَ
بِهَآۖ
أَمۡ
لَهُمۡ
أَعۡيُنٞ
يُبۡصِرُونَ
بِهَآۖ
أَمۡ
لَهُمۡ
ءَاذَانٞ
يَسۡمَعُونَ
بِهَاۗ
قُلِ
ٱدۡعُواْ
شُرَكَآءَكُمۡ
ثُمَّ
كِيدُونِ
فَلَا
تُنظِرُونِ
١٩٥
Do they have feet to walk with? Or hands to hold with? Or eyes to see with? Or ears to hear with? Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Call upon your associate-gods and conspire against me without delay!
