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

YadAAoo min dooni Allahi ma la yadurruhu wama la yanfaAAuhu thalika huwa alddalalu albaAAeedu

Tafsir of Verse 12

He calls, apart from God, upon that which hurts him not, and which neither profits him anything; that is indeed the far error.

They call on such deities, besides Allah, as can neither hurt nor profit them: that is straying far indeed (from the Way)!
