لَهٗ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّۗ وَالَّذِيْنَ يَدْعُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ لَا يَسْتَجِيْبُوْنَ لَهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ اِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ اِلَى الْمَاۤءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهٖۗ وَمَا دُعَاۤءُ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ اِلَّا فِيْ ضَلٰلٍ ( الرعد: ١٤ )
Lahoo da'watul haqq; wallazeena yad'oona min doonihee laa yastajeeboona lahum bishai'in illaa kabaasiti kaffaihi ilal maaa'i liyablugha faahu wa maa huwa bibaalighih; wa maa du'aaa'ul aafireena illaa fee dalaal (ar-Raʿd 13:14)
English Sahih:
To Him [alone] is the supplication of truth. And those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches his hands toward water [from afar, calling it] to reach his mouth, but it will not reach it [thus]. And the supplication of the disbelievers is not but in error [i.e., futility]. (Ar-Ra'd [13] : 14)
Ma Jian (Simplified):
真实的祈祷只归于他，他们舍他而祈祷的（偶像），一点也不能答应他们的祈求。但他们好像一个人，把两只手掌伸向水中，以便水达到他的口，其实，水绝不会达到他的口的。不信道者的祈祷，只在迷误中。 (雷霆 [13] : 14)
