قَالُوا نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَاكِفِينَ
﴿۷۱﴾
They replied: 'We worship idols and continue cleaving to them. ' (۷۱)
قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ
﴿۷۲﴾
'Do they hear you when you call on them? ' He asked. (۷۲)
أَوْ يَنْفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ
﴿۷۳﴾
'Can they benefit you or harm you? ' (۷۳)
قَالُوا بَلْ وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا كَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ
﴿۷۴﴾
They replied: 'No, but we found our fathers doing so. ' (۷۴)
قَالَ أَفَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ
﴿۷۵﴾
He said: 'Have you considered what you worship, (۷۵)
أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمُ الْأَقْدَمُونَ
﴿۷۶﴾
you, and your elderly fathers? (۷۶)
فَإِنَّهُمْ عَدُوٌّ لِي إِلَّا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
﴿۷۷﴾
They are enemies to me except the Lord of all the Worlds (۷۷)
الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهْدِينِ
﴿۷۸﴾
who created me; and He guides me, (۷۸)
وَالَّذِي هُوَ يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِ
﴿۷۹﴾
and He gives me to eat and drink, (۷۹)
وَإِذَا مَرِضْتُ فَهُوَ يَشْفِينِ
﴿۸۰﴾
who, when I am sick, heals me; (۸۰)
