Quran 13:14

To Him belongs the call to truth. Those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with anything—except as someone who stretches his hands towards water, so that it may reach his mouth, but it does not reach it. The prayers of the unbelievers are only in vain.

Unto Him is the real prayer. Those unto whom they pray beside Allah respond to them not at all, save as (is the response to) one who stretcheth forth his hands toward water (asking) that it may come unto his mouth, and it will never reach it. The prayer of disbelievers goeth (far) astray.

Hak duâ ancak onadır, ondan başka yalvarıp durdukları ise onları hiç bir şeyle icabet etmezler, onlar ancak ağzına gelsin diye suya doğru iki avucuna açana benzer ki o, ona gelmez, kâfirlerin duâsı hep bir dalâl içindedir

Lui seul est digne d’être invoqué, et cent qui implorent d’autres dieux n’obtiennent rien ; semblables à celui qui étend ses deux mains vers l’eau pour la porter à sa bouche, mais qui ne parvient jamais à l’atteindre. Les cris des infidèles s’égarent dans leur route.

Hij alleen is waardig te worden aangebeden, en de afgoden, die zij naast hem aanroepen, zullen hen volstrekt niet hooren; evenmin als degeen wordt verhoord, die zijne handen naar het water uitstrekt, opdat het tot zijn mond opstijge, ofschoon het hem nimmer kunne bereiken; de smeeking der ongeloovigen is geheel verkeerd.

Egli solo è degno d’esser invocato, e quei che implorano altri Dii, li implorano invano; simili a colui che allunga le sue braccia per prendere l’acqua, e berla, ma non gli riesce d’arrivarvi. Le grida degl’infedeli si perdono per la strada.
