193 Preface وَإِن تَدعوهُم إِلَى الهُدىٰ لا يَتَّبِعوكُم ۚ سَواءٌ عَلَيكُم أَدَعَوتُموهُم أَم أَنتُم صامِتونَYusuf AliIf ye call them to guidance, they will not obey: For you it is the same whether ye call them or ye hold your peace!1When false worship takes root, the teacher of Truth finds much to discourage him.
