And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent.

Idols do not create, help, or have Power over Anything

Allah admonishes the idolators who worshipped idols, rivals and images besides Him, although these objects were created by Allah, and neither own anything nor can they bring harm or benefit. These objects do not see or give aid to those who worsh

Chapter 7, Page 175, Juz 9

189. It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he [i.e., man] covers her, she carries a light burden [i.e., a pregnancy] and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allāh, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful." 190. But when He gives them a good [child], they ascribe partners to Him concerning that which He has given them. Exalted is Allāh above what they associate with Him. 191. Do they associate with Him those who create nothing and they are [themselves] created? 192. And they [i.e., the false deities] are unable to [give] them help, nor can they help themselves. 193. And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent. 194. Indeed, those you [polytheists] call upon besides Allāh are servants [i.e., creations] like you. So call upon them and let them respond to you, if you should be truthful. 195. Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muḥammad], "Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give me no respite. 196. Indeed, my protector is Allāh, who has sent down the Book; and He is an ally to the righteous. 197. And those you call upon besides Him are unable to help you, nor can they help themselves." 198. And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see them looking at you while they do not see.
