EnglishSaheeh International
The example of those who take allies other than Allāh is like that of the spider who takes [i.e., constructs] a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.

அல்லாஹ் அல்லாதவற்றை(த் தங்களுக்குப்) பாதுகாவலர்களாக எடுத்துக் கொள்பவர்களுக்கு உதாரணம் சிலந்திப் பூச்சியின் உதாரணம் போன்றது அது (தனக்காக) ஒரு வீட்டைக் கட்டியது ஆனால் நிச்சயமாக வீடுகளிலெல்லாம் மிகவும் பலஹீனமானது சிலந்திப்பூச்சியின் வீடேயாகும் - இதை அவர்கள் அறிந்து கொண்டிருப்பார்களாயின் (தாங்கள் இணையாக எடுத்துக் கொண்டவற்றின் பலஹீனத்தை அறிவார்கள்).

جن لوگوں نے اللہ تعالیٰ کے سوا اور کارساز مقرر کر رکھے ہیں ان کی مثال مکڑی کی سی ہے کہ وه بھی ایک گھر بنا لیتی ہے، حاﻻنکہ تمام گھروں سے زیاده بودا گھر مکڑی کا گھر ہی ہے ، کاش! وه جان لیتے.

アッラーを差し置いて外の主人を取る者を譬えれば,(自分で自分の)家を造る蜘蛛のようなものである。本当に家の中でも最も弱いのは,蜘蛛の家である。かれらに分っていたならば,よかったのに。
ChineseMa Jian
有些人,舍真主而别求监护者,他们譬如蜘蛛造屋,最脆弱的房屋,确是蜘蛛的房屋。假若他们认识这个道理,(就不会崇拜偶像了)。

Tafsir of 29:41

Likening the gods of the Idolators to the House of a Spider This is how Allah described the idolators in their reverence of gods besides Him, hoping that they would help them and provide for them, and turning to them in times of difficulties. In this regard, they were like the house of a spider, which is so weak and frail, because by clinging to these gods they were like a person who holds on to a spider's web, who does not gain any benefit from that. If they knew this, they would not take any protectors besides Allah. This is unlike the Muslim believer, whose heart is devoted to Allah, yet he still does righteous deeds and follows the Laws of Allah, for he has grasped the most trustworthy handle that will never break because it is so strong and firm. Then Allah warns those who worship others besides Him and associate others with Him that He knows what they do and the rivals they associate with Him. He will punish them for their attribution, for He is All-Wise and All-Knowing.…
