﴿ وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقًۭا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ﴾
“and will they [continue to] worship, instead of God, something that has it not within its power to provide for them any sustenance whatever from the heavens or the earth, and can do nothing at all?”
(And they worship beside Allah that which owneth) that which is capable of (no provision whatsoever for them) i.e. idols (from the heavens) by means of rain (or the earth) by means of vegetation, (nor have they (whom they worship) any power) to do so.
