Surah 46. Al-Ahqaf, Ayah 28
فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ قُرْبَانًا ءَالِهَةًۢ ۖ بَلْ ضَلُّوا۟ عَنْهُمْ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ
Falawl a na s arahumu alla th eena ittakha th oo min dooni All a hi qurb a nan a lihatan bal d alloo AAanhum wa tha lika ifkuhum wam a k a noo yaftaroon a But, then, did those [beings] whom they had chosen to worship as deities beside God, hoping that they would bring them nearer [to Him],33 help them [in the end]? Nay, they forsook them: for that [alleged divinity] was but an outcome of their self-delusion and all their false imagery.34
- Mohammad Asad
- Then Why did not those whom they worshipped besides Allah helped them who they regarded as a means of attaining nearness to Him? But those deities utterly forsake them, because those were nothing but their lies and their false inventions.
- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Why then did those 'idols' they took as gods- hoping to get closer 'to Him'- not come to their aid? Instead, they failed them. That is 'the result of' their lies and their fabrications.
- Mustafa Khattab
Then why did those whom they had chosen for gods as a way of approach (unto Allah) not help them? Nay, but they did fail them utterly. And (all) that was their lie, and what they used to invent.
- Marmaduke Pickthall
Why then was no help forthcoming to them from those whom they worshipped as gods besides Allah as a means of access (to Allah)? Nay they left them in the lurch: but that was their Falsehood and their invention. 4808
- Abdullah Yusuf Ali
