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.
