واتخذوا من دونه الهة لا يخلقون شيئا وهم يخلقون ولا يملكون لانفسهم ضرا ولا نفعا ولا يملكون موتا ولا حياة ولا نشورا

Yet have they taken, Besides Him, gods that can Create nothing but are themselves Created; that have no control Of hurt or good to themselves; Nor can they control Death Nor Life nor Resurrection.
