Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

And if ye call them to the Guidance, they follow you not. Whether ye call them or are silent is all one for you.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

If ye call them to guidance, they will not obey: For you it is the same whether ye call them or ye hold your peace!

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( وإن تدعوهم إلى الهدى لا يتبعوكم [ سواء عليكم أدعوتموهم أم أنتم صامتون ] ) يعني : أن هذه الأصنام لا تسمع دعاء من دعاها ، وسواء لديها من دعاها ومن دحاها ، كما قال إبراهيم : ( يا أبت لم تعبد ما لا يسمع ولا يبصر ولا يغني عنك شيئا ) [ مريم : 42 ] ؟
