وَمَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ كَمَثَلِ ٱلَّذِى يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لَا يَسْمَعُ إِلَّا دُعَآءً وَنِدَآءً ۚ صُمٌّۢ بُكْمٌ عُمْىٌ فَهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

EnglishSaheeh International
The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries [i.e., cattle or sheep] - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.

அந்த காஃபிர்களுக்கு உதாரணம் என்னவென்றால்; ஒரு (ஆடு, மாடு மேய்ப்ப)வனின் கூப்பாட்டையும், கூச்சலையும் தவிர வேறெதையும் கேட்டு, அறிய இயலாதவை(கால் நடை) போன்றவர்கள்;. அவர்கள் செவிடர்களாகவும், ஊமையர்களாகவும், குருடர்களாகவும் இருக்கின்றனர்;. அவர்கள் எ(ந்த நற்போ)தனையும் உணர்ந்து கொள்ளமாட்டார்கள்.

Tafsir of 2:171

The Polytheist imitates Other Polytheists Allah states that if the disbelievers and polytheists are called to follow what Allah has revealed to His Messenger and abandon the practices of misguidance and ignorance that they indulge in, they will say, "Rather.
