إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْثَانًا وَتَخْلُقُونَ إِفْكًا ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ لَكُمْ رِزْقًا فَابْتَغُوا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الرِّزْقَ وَاعْبُدُوهُ وَاشْكُرُوا لَهُ ۖ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ 17 ١٧

Tafsir

( إنما تعبدون من دون الله أوثانا ) أصناما ( وتخلقون إفكا ) تقولون كذبا . قال مجاهد : تصنعون أصناما بأيدكم فتسمونها آلهة ( إن الذين تعبدون من دون الله لا يملكون لكم رزقا ) لا يقدرون أن يرزقوكم ) ( فابتغوا ) فاطلبوا ( عند الله الرزق واعبدوه واشكروا له إليه ترجعون )

O idolaters, you are only worshipping idols which do not benefit or harm, and you are inventing a lie when you claim they are worthy of worship. Those whom you worship besides Allah do not have the ability to provide for you that they should provide you. Seek provision from Allah alone, as He is the Provider, worship Him alone, and thank Him for the provision He has blessed you with. To Him alone you will be returned on the day of judgment to be reckoned and rewarded, not to Your idols”.
