Surah Al A'raf Tafseer

وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدَى لَا يَتَّبِعُوكُمْ

And if you call them to guidance, they follow you not.

Allah says, these idols do not hear the calls of those who worship them. Therefore, the result is the same, whether calling the idols or shunning them.

سَوَاء عَلَيْكُمْ أَدَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ أَمْ أَنتُمْ صَامِتُونَ

It is the same for you whether you call them or you keep silent.

Ibrahim, peace be upon said,

يأَبَتِ لِمَ تَعْبُدُ مَا لاأَ يَسْمَعُ وَلاأَ يَبْصِرُ وَلاأَ يُغْنِى عَنكَ شَيْياً

"O my father! Why do you worship that which hears not, sees not and cannot avail you in anything!" (19:42)

Next, Allah states,

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ عِبَادٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ فَادْعُوهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُواْ لَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
