﴿ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مِن شَىْءٍۢ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴾

“Verily, God knows whatever it is that men invoke instead of Him for He alone is almighty, truly wise.”

(Lo! Allah knoweth what thing they invoke) they worship (instead of Him) of idols do not benefit them in this worldly life nor in the Hereafter. (He is the Mighty) in retribution against those who worship them, (the Wise) He decreed that none should be worshipped except Him.
