يَدْعُوا۟ He calls مِن besides دُونِ besides ٱللَّهِ Allah مَا what لَا not يَضُرُّهُۥ harms him وَمَا and what لَا not يَنفَعُهُۥ ۚ benefits him ذَٰلِكَ That هُوَ [it] ٱلضَّلَـٰلُ (is) the straying ٱلْبَعِيدُ far away ١٢
He invokes instead of Allāh that which neither harms him nor benefits him. That is what is the extreme error.
