فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ قُرْبَانًا آلِهَةً بَلْ ضَلُّوا عَنْهُمْ وَذَلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ

پس چرا معبودانی را كه غير از خدا برگزيدند -به گمان اينكه به خدا نزديكشان سازد- آنها را ياری نكردند؟! بلكه از ميانشان گم شدند! اين بود نتيجه دروغ آنها و آنچه افترا می‏بستند!

Then why did those they took besides Allah as deities by which to approach [Him] not aid them? But they had strayed from them. And that was their falsehood and what they were inventing.
