Back to Surah Ar-Ra'd
Ayah 14
Surah Ar-Ra'd
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].﴿14﴾

Simplified Tafsir
لله سبحانه وتعالى وحده دعوة التوحيد (لا إله إلا الله)، فلا يُعبد ولا يُدعى إلا هو، والآلهة التي يعبدونها من دون الله لا تجيب دعاء مَن دعاها، وحالهم معها كحال عطشان يمد يده إلى الماء من بعيد؛ ليصل إلى فمه فلا يصل إليه، وما سؤال الكافرين لها إلا غاية في البعد عن الصواب لإشراكهم بالله غيره.
