فَلَوْلَا

نَصَرَهُمُ

الَّذِينَ

اتَّخَذُوا

مِن

دُونِ

اللَّهِ

قُرْبَانًا

آلِهَةً

بَلْ

ضَلُّوا

عَنْهُمْ

وَذَلِكَ

إِفْكُهُمْ

وَمَا

كَانُوا

يَفْتَرُونَ

fa-law-lā naṣarahumu lladhīna ttakhadhū min dūni llāhi qurbānan ʾālihatan bal ḍallū ʿanhum wa-dhālika ʾifkuhum wa-mā kānū yaftarūna

Why did the idols, whom they worshipped as a means of pleasing God, not help them? In fact, they proved to be the cause of their going astray and it were lies which they had falsely invented lies.
