189* It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love). When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, (saying): "If Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful."  
| |190* But when He giveth them a goodly child, they ascribe to others a share in the gift they have received: but Allah is exalted high above the partners they ascribe to Him.  
| |191* Do they indeed ascribe to Him as partners things that can create nothing, but are themselves created?  
| |192* No aid can they give them, nor can they aid themselves!  
| |193* If ye call them to guidance, they will not obey: For you it is the same whether ye call them or ye keep silent!  
| |194* Verily those whom ye call upon besides Allah are servants like unto you: Call upon them, and let them listen to your prayer, if ye are (indeed) truthful!  
| |195* Have they feet to walk with? Or hands to lay hold with? Or eyes to see with? Or ears to hear with? Say: "Call your 'god-partners', scheme (your worst) against me, and give me no respite!  
| |196* "For my Protector is Allah, Who revealed the Book (from time to time), and He will befriend the righteous.  
| |197* "But those ye call upon besides Him, are unable to help you, and indeed to help themselves."  
| |198* If thou callest them to guidance, they hear not. Thou wilt see them looking at thee, but they see not.
