Ar-Ra'd 13:14 له دعوة الحق والذين يدعون من دونه لا يستجيبون لهم بشيء الا كباسط كفيه الى الماء ليبلغ فاه وما هو ببالغه وما دعاء الكافرين الا في ضلال ١٤

13:14
لَهُۥ
دَعۡوَةُ
ٱلۡحَقِّۚ
وَٱلَّذِينَ
يَدۡعُونَ
مِن
دُونِهِۦ
لَا
يَسۡتَجِيبُونَ
لَهُم
بِشَيۡءٍ
إِلَّا
كَبَٰسِطِ
كَفَّيۡهِ
إِلَى
ٱلۡمَآءِ
لِيَبۡلُغَ
فَاهُ
وَمَا
هُوَ
بِبَٰلِغِهِۦۚ
وَمَا
دُعَآءُ
ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ
إِلَّا
فِي
ضَلَٰلٖ

Calling upon Him ˹alone˺ is the truth. But those ˹idols˺ the pagans invoke besides Him ˹can˺ never respond to them in any way. ˹It is˺ just like someone who stretches out their hands to water, ˹asking it˺ to reach their mouths, but it can never do so. The calls of the disbelievers are only in vain.

Chapter 13, Page 251, Juz 13

8. Allah knows what every female bears and what increases and decreases in the wombs. And with Him everything is determined with precision. 9. ˹He is the˺ Knower of the seen and the unseen—the All-Great, Most Exalted. 10. It is the same ˹to Him˺ whether any of you speaks secretly or openly, whether one hides in the darkness of night or goes about in broad daylight. 11. For each one there are successive angels before and behind, protecting them by Allah’s command. Indeed, Allah would never change a people’s state ˹of favour˺ until they change their own state ˹of faith˺. And if it is Allah’s Will to torment a people, it can never be averted, nor can they find a protector other than Him. 12. He is the One Who shows you lightning, inspiring ˹you with˺ hope and fear, and produces heavy clouds. 13. The thunder glorifies His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him. He sends thunderbolts, striking with them whoever He wills. Yet they dispute about Allah. And He is tremendous in might. 14. Calling upon Him ˹alone˺ is the truth. But those ˹idols˺ the pagans invoke besides Him ˹can˺ never respond to them in any way. ˹It is˺ just like someone who stretches out their hands to water, ˹asking it˺ to reach their mouths, but it can never do so. The calls of the disbelievers are only in vain. 15. To Allah ˹alone˺ bow down ˹in submission˺ all those in the heavens and the earth—willingly or unwillingly—as do their shadows, morning and evening.
