يَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُۥ وَمَا لَا يَنفَعُهُۥۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَٰلُ ٱلۡبَعِيدُ ١٢
Yadʿū min dūnillāhi mā lā yaḍurruhū wa mā lā yanfaʿuh, dhālika huwaḍ-ḍalālul-baʿīd.
He invokes instead of Allāh that which neither harms him nor benefits him. That is what is the extreme error.
