Praying to Him (Allah) Alone is the right thing. But those ˹idols˺ the pagans invoke besides Him ˹can˺ never respond to them in any way. They are like a man who stretches forth his hands to the water and asks it to reach his mouth. It cannot reach his mouth this way; likewise the prayer of the unbelievers is nothing but a fruitless effort.
Meaning:-
Idols: an image or representation of a god used as an object of worship.
Pagans: is a person who worships many gods or who worships nature and the Earth.
