6:71

قُلْ اَنَدْعُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا یَنْفَعُنَا وَلَا یَضُرُّنَا وَنُرَدُّ عَلٰٓى اَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدٰینَا اللّٰهُ كَالَّذِی اسْتَهْوَتْهُ الشَّیَاطٖینُ فِی الْاَرْضِ حَیْرَانَࣕ لَهُٓ اَصْحَابٌ یَدْعُونَهُٓ اِلَى الْهُدَى ائْتِنَاؕ قُلْ اِنَّ هُدَى اللّٰهِ هُوَ الْهُدٰىؕ وَاُمِرْنَا لِنُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمٖینَۙ

Qul anadAAoo min dooni Allahi ma la yanfaAAuna wala yadurruna wanuraddu AAala aAAqabina baAAda ith hadana Allahu kaallathee istahwathu alshshayateenu fee alardi hayrana lahu ashabun yadAAoonahu ila alhuda itina qul inna huda Allahi huwa alhuda waomirna linuslima lirabbi alAAalameena

Translations

Say, "Shall we invoke instead of Allah that which neither benefits us nor harms us and be turned back on our heels after Allah has guided us? [We would then be] like one whom the devils enticed [to wander] upon the earth confused, [while] he has companions inviting him to guidance, [calling], 'Come to us.' " Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance; and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds

Saheeh International

Say: Shall we cry, instead of unto Allah, unto that which neither profiteth us nor hurteth us, and shall we turn back after Allah hath guided us, like one bewildered whom the devils have infatuated in the earth, who hath companions who invite him to the guidance (saying): Come unto us? Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah is Guidance, and we are ordered to surrender to the Lord of the Worlds
