M. Pickthall (English)
Then why did those whom they had chosen for gods as a way of approach (unto Allah) not help them? Nay, but they did fail them utterly. And (all) that was their lie, and what they used to invent
Why then was no help forthcoming to them from those whom they worshipped as gods, besides Allah, as a means of access (to Allah.? Nay, they left them in the lurch: but that was their falsehood and their invention.(4808)*
Yusuf Ali (English) Explanation of Surah Al-Ahqaf, Verse 28
4808 The false things that they worshipped were figments of their imagination. If they had had any existence in fact, it was not of the kind they imagined.
