Surah Al-Hajj 22:12

The Pilgrimage · Verse 12 of 78 · Juz 17 · Page 333

يَدْعُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُۥ وَمَا لَا يَنفَعُهُۥ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَـٰلُ ٱلْبَعِيدُ

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

Translation: Saheeh International

Tafsir

He calls on he worships besides God in the way of idols that which could not hurt him should he refrain from worshipping it and that which could not profit him if were to worship it. Such a call is extreme error from the truth.
