Surah Al-Hajj — Ayah 12 (22:12)

The Pilgrimage · Madinah · Juz 17 · Mushaf page 333 of 604

يَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُۥ وَمَا لَا يَنفَعُهُۥۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَٰلُ ٱلۡبَعِيدُ ١٢

English translation (Saheeh International)

He invokes instead of Allāh that which neither harms him nor benefits him. That is what is the extreme error.

Brief commentary

He worships besides Allah idols which cannot harm him if he disobeys them, nor can they benefit him if he obeys them. That calling upon idols which can neither harm nor benefit is the misguidance far from the truth.
