وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةًۭ لَّا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْـًۭٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّۭا وَلَا نَفْعًۭا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًۭا وَلَا حَيَوٰةًۭ وَلَا نُشُورًۭا

سُورَةُ الفُرۡقَانِ
English — Sahih International
But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.
اردو — مودودی
لوگوں نے اُسے چھوڑ کر ایسے معبود بنا لیے جو کسی چیز کو پیدا نہیں کرتے بلکہ خود پیدا کیے جاتے ہیں، جو خود اپنے لیے بھی کسی نفع یا نقصان کا اختیار نہیں رکھتے، جو نہ مار سکتے ہیں نہ جِلا سکتے ہیں، نہ مرے ہوئے کو پھر اٹھا سکتے ہیں
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Kemudian mereka mengambil tuhan-tuhan selain daripada-Nya (untuk disembah), yang tuhan-tuhan itu tidak menciptakan apapun, bahkan mereka sendiri diciptakan dan tidak kuasa untuk (menolak) sesuatu kemudharatan dari dirinya dan tidak (pula untuk mengambil) suatu kemanfaatanpun dan (juga) tidak kuasa mematikan, menghidupkan dan tidak (pula) membangkitkan.
Ibn Kathir
The Foolishness of the Idolators
Allah tells us of the ignorance of the idolators in taking other gods instead of Allah, the Creator of all things, the One Who controls the affairs of all things; whatever He wills happens and whatever He does not will does not happen. In spite of that, they still worshipped others besides Him, idols who could not even create the wing of a gnat, but were themselves created. They could neither do harm nor bring benefit to themselves, so how could they do anything for their worshippers
وَلاَ يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتاً وَلاَ حَيَـوةً وَلاَ نُشُوراً
(and possess no power (of causing) death, nor (of giving) life, nor of raising the dead.) means, they could not do any of that at all; that power belongs only to Allah, Who is the One Who gives life and death, and is the One Who will bring all people, the first and the last, back to life on the Day of Resurrection.
مَّا خَلْقُكُمْ وَلاَ بَعْثُكُمْ إِلاَّ كَنَفْسٍ وَحِدَةٍ
(The creation of you all and the resurrection of you all are only as (the creation and resurrection of) a single person) (31:28). This is like the Ayat;
وَمَآ أَمْرُنَآ إِلاَّ وَحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍ بِالْبَصَرِ
(And Our commandment is but one as the twinkling of an eye.) (54:50)
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَحِدَةٌ - فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ
(But it will be only a single Zajrah. When behold, they find themselves on the surface of the earth alive after their death.) (79:13-14)
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
(It will be a single Zajrah, and behold, they will be staring!) (37:19)
إِن كَانَتْ إِلاَّ صَيْحَةً وَحِدَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ جَمِيعٌ لَّدَيْنَا مُحْضَرُونَ
(It will be but a single Sayhah, so behold they will all be brought up before Us!) (36:53). He is Allah besides Whom there is no other God and besides Whom there is no other Lord. No one should be worshipped except Him because whatever He wills happens and whatever he does not will does not happen. He has no offspring nor progenitor, nor equal nor likeness nor rival nor peer. He is the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him.
المُيَسَّر
واتخذ مشركو العرب معبودات من دون الله لا تستطيع خَلْق شيء، والله خلقها وخلقهم، ولا تملك لنفسها دَفْعَ ضر أو جلب نفع، ولا تستطيع إماتة حي أو إحياء ميت، أو بعث أحد من الأموات حيًا من قبره.
