قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ

They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted."


قَالَ هَلۡ يَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ

He said: "Do they hear you, when you call (on them)?


أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ

"Or do they benefit you or do they harm (you)?"


قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ

They said: "Nay, but we found our fathers doing so."


قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

He said: "Do you observe that which you have been worshipping,


أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

"You and your ancient fathers?


فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

"Verily! They are enemies to me, save the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists);


ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ

"Who has created me, and it is He Who guides me;


وَٱلَّذِي هُوَ يُطۡعِمُنِي وَيَسۡقِينِ

"And it is He Who feeds me and gives me to drink.
