if you are truthful.

Do they have any hands to grasp with?
Do they have any eyes to see with?
Do they have any ears to hear with?

and try out your stratagems ¹ against me
without granting me any respite.
196 My guardian is indeed Allah
who sent down the Book,
and He takes care of the righteous.
197 Those whom you invoke besides Him
can neither help you,
nor help themselves.’
198 If you call them to guidance, they will not hear.

but they do not perceive.
199 Adopt [a policy of] excusing [the faults of people],
bid what is right,
and turn away from the ignorant.
200 Should a temptation from Satan disturb you,
invoke the protection of Allah;
indeed He is all-hearing, all-knowing.
