﴿ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلْ يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ ﴾

“instead of God? Can these [things and beings] be of any help to you or to themselves?””

(Instead of Allah? Can they help you) can they help you to avoid Allah's chastisement (or help themselves) or help themselves to avoid Allah's chastisement?
