مَثَلُ (The) example ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ take مِن besides دُونِ besides ٱللَّهِ Allah أَوْلِيَآءَ protectors كَمَثَلِ (is) like ٱلْعَنكَبُوتِ the spider ٱتَّخَذَتْ who takes بَيْتًۭا ۖ a house وَإِنَّ And indeed أَوْهَنَ the weakest ٱلْبُيُوتِ (of) houses لَبَيْتُ (is) surely (the) house ٱلْعَنكَبُوتِ ۖ (of) the spider لَوْ if (only) كَانُوا۟ they يَعْلَمُونَ know ٤١
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.
