﴿ وَقِيلَ ٱدْعُوا۟ شُرَكَآءَكُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُمْ وَرَأَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ۚ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَهْتَدُونَ ﴾

“And [they] will be told: “Call [now] unto those [beings or powers] to whom you were wont to ascribe a share in God’s divinity!” and they will call unto them [for help], but those [fake objects of worship] will not respond to them: whereupon they will see the suffering [that awaits them - the suffering which could have been avoided] if only they had allowed them­selves to be guided!”

( وقيل ) للكفار : ( ادعوا شركاءكم ) أي : الأصنام لتخلصكم من العذاب ، ( فدعوهم فلم يستجيبوا لهم ) يجيبوهم ، ( ورأوا العذاب لو أنهم كانوا يهتدون ) وجواب " لو " محذوف على تقدير : لو أنهم كانوا يهتدون في الدنيا ما رأوا العذاب .
