Surah Al-A'raf — Ayah 193 (7:193)

The Heights · Makkah · Juz 9 · Mushaf page 175 of 604

وَإِن تَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ لَا يَتَّبِعُوكُمۡۚ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ أَدَعَوۡتُمُوهُمۡ أَمۡ أَنتُمۡ صَٰمِتُونَ ١٩٣

English translation (Saheeh International)

And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent.

Brief commentary

And If you call these idols which you take as gods to guidance, they will not respond to what you call them to, nor can they follow you. It is the same whether you call them, or keep silent, because they are just objects, and are not conscious: they do not hear, and they cannot speak.
