Chapter 7, Page 175, Juz 9

189. He it is Who did create you from a single soul, and therefrom did make his mate that he might take rest in her. And when he covered her she bore a light burden, and she passed (unnoticed) with it, but when it became heavy they cried unto Allah, their Lord, saying: If thou givest unto us aright we shall be of the thankful. 190. But when He gave unto them aright, they ascribed unto Him partners in respect of that which He had given them. High is He Exalted above all that they associate (with Him). 191. Attribute they as partners to Allah those who created naught, but are themselves created, 192. And cannot give them help, nor can they help themselves? 193. And if ye call them to the Guidance, they follow you not. Whether ye call them or are silent is all one for you. 194. Lo! those on whom ye call beside Allah are slaves like unto you. Call on them now, and let them answer you, if ye are truthful! 195. Have they feet wherewith they walk, or have they hands wherewith they hold, or have they eyes wherewith they see, or have they ears wherewith they hear? Say: Call upon your (so-called) partners (of Allah), and then contrive against me, spare me not! 196. Lo! my Protecting Friend is Allah Who revealeth the Scripture. He befriendeth the righteous. 197. They on whom ye call beside Him have no power to help you, nor can they help you, nor can they help themselves. 198. And if ye (Muslims) call them to the guidance they hear not; and thou (Muhammad) seest them looking toward thee, but they see not.
