مَثَلُ (The) example mathalu (of) those who alladhīna take ittakhadhū besides min besides dūni Allah l-lahi protectors awliyāa (is) like kamathali the spider l-ʿankabūti who takes ittakhadhat a house baytan And indeed wa-inna the weakest awhana (of) houses l-buyūti (is) surely (the) house labaytu (of) the spider l-ʿankabūti if (only) law they kānū know yaʿlamūna
The example of those who take allies other than Allāh is like that of the spider who takes [i.e., constructs] a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.
إِنَّ Indeed inna Allah l-laha knows yaʿlamu what mā they invoke yadʿūna besides Him min besides Him dūnihi any min thing shayin And He wahuwa (is) the All-Mighty l-ʿazīzu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
Indeed, Allāh knows whatever thing they call upon other than Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
وَتِلْكَ And these watil'ka examples l-amthālu We set forth naḍribuhā to mankind lilnnāsi but not wamā will understand them yaʿqiluhā except illā those of knowledge l-ʿālimūna
And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.
