Chapter 29, Page 401, Juz 20

41. 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. 42. Allah surely knows that whatever ˹gods˺ they invoke besides Him are ˹simply˺ nothing. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise. 43. These are the parables We set forth for humanity, but none will understand them except the people of knowledge. 44. Allah created the heavens and the earth for a purpose. Surely in this is a sign for the people of faith.
