إِنَّ الَّذینَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ عِبادٌ أَمْثالُکُمْ فَادْعُوهُمْ فَلْیَسْتَجیبُوا لَکُمْ إِنْ کُنْتُمْ صادِقینَ (194  )

And[ say O, Messenger! ]:" My Guardian and Supporter is Allah Who Has revealed this[ Holy ]Book­ 3? and He Is the Guardian of the righteous."

وَ الَّذینَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ لا یَسْتَطیعُونَ نَصْرَکُمْ وَ لا أَنْفُسَهُمْ یَنْصُرُونَ (197  )

[ And say O, Messenger! ]:" Those On whom you call instead of Allah, Have no power to help you, neither They can help themselves;

وَ إِنْ تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدى‏ لا یَسْمَعُوا وَ تَراهُمْ یَنْظُرُونَ إِلَیْکَ وَ هُمْ لا یُبْصِرُونَ (198  )

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذینَ إِذا ذُکِرَ اللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَ إِذا تُلِیَتْ عَلَیْهِمْ آیاتُهُ زادَتْهُمْ إیماناً وَ عَلى‏ رَبِّهِمْ یَتَوَکَّلُونَ (2  )

[ The believers are: ]Those who feel awe And trembling in their hearts­ 1? when Allah"s Name is mentioned; and when Words of Revelation are recited to Them, their Faith increases; and they are Those who put all their trust in their Creator and Nurturer;

الَّذینَ یُقیمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْناهُمْ یُنْفِقُونَ (3  )

[ The believers are: ]Those who Perform prayers regularly;­ 2? and spend Out of what We have provided for Them, as sustenance;
