Vers: 14

لَهُۥ دَعۡوَةُ ٱلۡحَقِّۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَسۡتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَيۡءٍ إِلَّا كَبَٰسِطِ كَفَّيۡهِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَآءِ لِيَبۡلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَٰلِغِهِۦۚ وَمَا دُعَآءُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٖ

14. To Him 'Allāh alone' should all the prayers be addressed. But those to whom they pray instead of Allāh do not answer them in any way, except like one who stretches forth his two hands towards water (from afar, calling at it) that it may reach his mouth, but it will not reach it6. For the prayer of the deniers is only in error.

6. This comparison indicates that the false deities will never respond to them at all.
