AL-ANKABOOT


مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ كَمَثَلِ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ اتَّخَذَتْ بَيْتًا ۖ وَإِنَّ أَوْهَنَ الْبُيُوتِ لَبَيْتُ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ ۖ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤١﴾
٤١ - جن لوگوں نے خدا کے سوا (اوروں کو) کارساز بنا رکھا ہے اُن کی مثال مکڑی کی سی ہے کہ وہ بھی ایک (طرح کا) گھر بناتی ہے۔ اور کچھ شک نہیں کہ تمام گھروں سے کمزور مکڑی کا گھر ہے کاش یہ (اس بات کو) جانتے .
[29:41] The example of those who take allies other than Allah is like that of the spider who takes a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.
[Transliteration] Masalul lazeenat takhazoo min doonil laahi awliyaaa'a kamasalil 'ankaboot, ittakhazat baitaa, wa inna awhanal buyooti la baitul 'ankaboot, law kaanoo ya'lamoon
