يَدْعُونَ is how you say “invoke” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَقَالَ تَعَالَى وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ
And the Exalted said: And those who do not call upon any other god with Allah, and do not take the life which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause, and do not commit adultery.
يَدْعُونَ — they call upon. A present-tense verb 'call upon/invoke' with a built-in third-person plural 'they' in its ending. It is the verb negated by the preceding 'not', giving 'they do not invoke'. The plural ending carries the subject, so no separate 'they' word is needed.
