الانعام — Al-An'am Ayat 71
قُلْ اَنَدْعُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا يَنْفَعُنَا وَلَا يَضُرُّنَا وَنُرَدُّ عَلٰٓى اَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدٰىنَا اللّٰهُ كَالَّذِى اسْتَهْوَتْهُ الشَّيٰطِيْنُ فِى الْاَرْضِ حَيْرَانَ لَهٗٓ اَصْحٰبٌ يَّدْعُوْنَهٗٓ اِلَى الْهُدَى ائْتِنَا ۗ قُلْ اِنَّ هُدَى اللّٰهِ هُوَ الْهُدٰىۗ وَاُمِرْنَا لِنُسْلِمَ لِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَۙ
Qul anad‘ū min dūnillāhi mā lā yanfa‘unā wa lā yaḍurrunā wa nuraddu ‘alā a‘qābinā ba‘da iż hadānallāhu kal-lażīstahwathusy-syayāṭīnu fil-arḍi ḥairāna lahū aṣḥābuy yad‘ūnahū ilal-huda'tinā, qul inna hudallāhi huwal-hudā, wa umirnā linuslima lirabbil-‘ālamīn(a).
"Say, "Shall we invoke instead of Allah that which neither benefits us nor harms us and be turned back on our heels after Allah has guided us? [We would then be] like one whom the devils enticed [to wander] upon the earth confused, [while] he has companions inviting him to guidance, [calling], 'Come to us.' " Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance; and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."

Reflection and Practical Meaning
This verse invites readers to slow down, remember Allah, and connect the message of the Quran with daily life. A useful way to approach Al-An'am ayah 71 is to ask three questions: what does this verse teach about Allah, what does it reveal about human character, and what small action can be practiced today? This method keeps reflection grounded and practical.
For personal study, read the verse slowly, repeat the key phrase, and write one sentence about how it applies to your prayer, family life, work, or choices. Consistent small reflections often become more beneficial than rushed reading. If you share this verse, include its surah and ayah reference so others can find the context.
