7. Araf · verses 196–199

إِنَّ وَلِـِّۧيَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي نَزَّلَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَۖ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

Inna waliyyiya Allahu allathee nazzala alkitaba wahuwa yatawalla alssaliheena

"For my Protector is Allah, Who revealed the Book (from time to time), and He will choose and befriend the righteous.

وَٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ نَصۡرَكُمۡ وَلَآ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَنصُرُونَ

Waallatheena tadAAoona min doonihi la yastateeAAoona nasrakum wala anfusahum yansuroona

"But those ye call upon besides Him, are unable to help you, and indeed to help themselves."

وَإِن تَدۡعُوهُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡهُدَىٰ لَا يَسۡمَعُواْۖ وَتَرَىٰهُمۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَيۡكَ وَهُمۡ لَا يُبۡصِرُونَ

Wain tadAAoohum ila alhuda la yasmaAAoo watarahum yanthuroona ilayka wahum la yubsiroona

If thou callest them to guidance, they hear not. Thou wilt see them looking at thee, but they see not.

خُذِ ٱلۡعَفۡوَ وَأۡمُرۡ بِٱلۡعُرۡفِ وَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنِ ٱلۡجَٰهِلِينَ

Khuthi alAAafwa wamur bialAAurfi waaAArid AAani aljahileena

Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; But turn away from the ignorant.
