“Indeed, my Protector is Allah Who has revealed this Book. For He ˹alone˺ protects the righteous.
7:196
But those ˹false gods˺ you call besides Him can neither help you nor even themselves.”
7:197
If you ˹idolaters˺ call them to guidance, they cannot hear. And you ˹O Prophet˺ may see them facing towards you, but they cannot see.
7:198
Be gracious, enjoin what is right, and turn away from those who act ignorantly.
7:199
If you are tempted by Satan, then seek refuge with Allah. Surely He is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
7:200
Indeed, when Satan whispers to those mindful ˹of Allah˺, they remember ˹their Lord˺ then they start to see ˹things˺ clearly.
7:201
But the devils persistently plunge their ˹human˺ associates1 deeper into wickedness, sparing no effort.
7:202
If you ˹O Prophet˺ do not bring them a sign ˹which they demanded˺, they ask, “Why do you not make it yourself?” Say, “I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This ˹Quran˺ is an insight from your Lord—a guide and a mercy for those who believe.”
7:203
When the Quran is recited, listen to it attentively and be silent, so you may be shown mercy.
7:204
Remember your Lord inwardly with humility and reverence and in a moderate tone of voice, both morning and evening. And do not be one of the heedless.
7:205
Surely those ˹angels˺ nearest to your Lord are not too proud to worship Him. They glorify Him. And to Him they prostrate.
7:206
