مَثَلُ
ٱلَّذِينَ
ٱتَّخَذُواْ
مِن
دُونِ
ٱللَّهِ
أَوۡلِيَآءَ
كَمَثَلِ
ٱلۡعَنكَبُوتِ
ٱتَّخَذَتۡ
بَيۡتٗاۖ
وَإِنَّ
أَوۡهَنَ
ٱلۡبُيُوتِ
لَبَيۡتُ
ٱلۡعَنكَبُوتِۚ
لَوۡ
كَانُواْ
يَعۡلَمُونَ

The parable of those who take protectors other than Allah is that of a spider spinning a shelter. And the flimsiest of all shelters is certainly that of a spider, if only they knew.1
إِنَّ
ٱللَّهَ
يَعۡلَمُ
مَا
يَدۡعُونَ
مِن
دُونِهِۦ
مِن
شَيۡءٖۚ
وَهُوَ
ٱلۡعَزِيزُ
ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

Allah surely knows that whatever ˹gods˺ they invoke besides Him are ˹simply˺ nothing. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
وَتِلۡكَ
ٱلۡأَمۡثَٰلُ
نَضۡرِبُهَا
لِلنَّاسِۖ
وَمَا
يَعۡقِلُهَآ
إِلَّا
ٱلۡعَٰلِمُونَ

These are the parables We set forth for humanity, but none will understand them except the people of knowledge.
