لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ ۖ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ لَا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا كَبَاسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْمَاءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهِ ۚ وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَالٍ
To Him [alone] is the supplication of truth. And those they call upon besides Him do not respond to them with a thing, except as one who stretches his hands toward water [from afar, calling it] to reach his mouth, but it will not reach it [thus]. And the supplication of the disbelievers is not but in error [i.e. futility].

لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لاَ يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُم بِشَىْءٍ إِلاَّ كَبَـسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ وَمَا هُوَ بِبَالِغِهِ وَمَا دُعَآءُ الْكَـفِرِينَ إِلاَّ فِى ضَلَـلٍ
(14. For Him is the Word of Truth. And those whom they invoke besides Him, answer them no more than one who stretches forth his hand for water to reach his mouth, but it reaches him not; and the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but misguidance.)
`Ali bin Abi Talib said that Allah's statement,
لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ
(For Him is the Word of Truth.) is in reference to Tawhid, according to Ibn Jarir At-Tabari. Ibn `Abbas, Qatadah, and Malik who narrated it from Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir, said that,
لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ
(For Him is the Word of Truth.) means, "La ilaha illallah.'' Allah said next,
وَالَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ
(And those whom they invoke besides Him...), meaning, the example of those who worship others besides Allah,
كَبَـسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْمَآءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فَاهُ
(like one who stretches forth his hand for water to reach his mouth,) `Ali bin Abi Talib commented, "Like he who stretches his hand on the edge of a deep well to reach the water, even though his hands do not reach it; so how can the water reach his mouth'' Mujahid said about,
كَبَـسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ
(like one who stretches forth his hand) "Calling the water with his words and pointing at it, but it will never come to him this way.'' The meaning of this Ayah is that he who stretches his hand to water from far away, to either collect some or draw some from far away, will not benefit from the water which will not reach his mouth, where water should be consumed. Likewise, those idolators who call another deity besides Allah, will never benefit from these deities in this life or the Hereafter, hence Allah's statement,
وَمَا دُعَآءُ الْكَـفِرِينَ إِلاَّ فِى ضَلَـلٍ
(and the invocation of the disbelievers is nothing but misguidance.)

Yakni Dialah Allah Tuhan yang segala ibadah sepatutnya hanya ditujukan kepada-Nya, seperti doa, takut dan cemas, cinta dan harap, tawakkal, menyembelih, rukuâ dan sujud, dsb. karena ketuhanan-Nya adalah benar, sedangkan ketuhanan selain-Nya adalah batil.
Sedikit maupun banyak, terkait dengan urusan dunia maupun akhirat.
Orang-orang yang berdoa kepada berhala dimisalkan seperti orang yang mengulurkan telapak tangannya yang terbuka ke air agar air sampai ke mulutnya. Hal ini tidak mungkin terjadi karena telapak tangan yang terbuka tidak dapat menampung air. Ada pula yang menafsirkan, bahwa orang yang berdoa kepada berhala seperti orang yang kehausan mengulurkan tangannya ke bawah sumur sedangkan airnya berada jauh darinya, dan sudah pasti air itu tidak akan sampai ke mulutnya. Demikianlah keadaan orang-orang kafir, di saat mereka membutuhkan bantuan, berhala-berhala yang mereka sembah tidak dapat mengabulkan permintaan mereka, karena berhala itu sendiri fakir, tidak memiliki apa-apa meskipun seberat biji sawi.
Atau ibadah.
