(If ye pray unto them) i.e. the deities (they hear not your prayer) because they are deaf and dumb, (and if they heard they could not grant it you) because they despise you. (On the Day of Resurrection they will disown association with you) the deities will absolve themselves from you for associating them as partners with Allah and for worshipping them beside Allah. (None can Inform you) of them and their works (like Him Who is Aware) i. e. Allah.
- 35:1414
إِنْ تَدْعُوهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُوا دُعَاءَكُمْ وَلَوْ سَمِعُوا مَا اسْتَجَابُوا لَكُمْ ۖ وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَكْفُرُونَ بِشِرْكِكُمْ ۚ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثْلُ خَبِيرٍ
You pray to them, but they do not hear your call; and even if they heard you, they could not answer your prayer; and on the Day of Resurrection they will deny your having worshipped them. None can acquaint you (with the reality) as He who is informed of everything.
