In Sūrah Al-A‘rāf, verses 194-206, Allāh exposes the futility of idol worship, highlighting that idols are lifeless and cannot hear or respond to prayers. The verse challenges polytheists to invoke their idols, affirming that Allāh alone is the Protector and the Revealer of the Qur’ān. It also emphasizes the role of the Prophet ﷺ in forgiving, enjoining righteousness, and turning away from ignorance. This guidance calls for patience, kindness, and repelling evil with good, as exemplified by the Prophet ﷺ and companions like ʿUmar ibn Al-Khattāb (may Allāh be pleased with him). The verses also highlight the characteristics of the people of Taqwā, who are patient, steadfast in worship, and trust in Allāh's guidance. Believers are reminded to seek refuge in Allāh from Shayṭān’s whispers, as He is the All-Hearer and All-Knower.
