Wa kuombwa kweli ni Yeye tu. Na hao wanao waomba badala yake (13:14)

﴿لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْمَاءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهِ ۚ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ﴾
[ الرعد: 14]

Wa kuombwa kweli ni Yeye tu. Na hao wanao waomba badala yake hawawajibu chochote; bali ni kama mwenye kunyoosha viganja vyake kwenye maji ili yafike kinywani mwake, lakini hayafiki. Na maombi ya makafiri hayako ila katika upotovu.

Swahili Translation - Al-Barwani

English - Sahih International

To Him [alone] is the supplication of truth. And those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches his hands toward water [from afar, calling it] to reach his mouth, but it will not reach it [thus]. And the supplication of the disbelievers is not but in error [i.e. futility].

Tafsiri ya maana yake kwenye lugha ya Kiswahili

Wa kuombwa kweli ni Yeye tu. Na hao wanao waomba badala yake hawawajibu chochote; bali ni kama mwenye kunyoosha viganja vyake kwenye maji ili yafike kinywani mwake, lakini hayafiki. Na maombi ya makafiri hayako ila katika upotovu.

Na hayo masanamu wanayo yaomba kwa woga na kutafuta amani badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu pekee hayawajibu wito na maombi yao. Hali yao ni kama mwenye kukunjua kiganja chake akinge maji ya kunywa na kiganja kisifike mdomoni. Na hali yao ikiwa ni hii, basi hizo dua zao haziwi ila kupotea na kukhasirika.
