Translation of the meanings Ayah 192 Surah Al-A‘rāf - English Translation - Dr. Waleed Bleyhesh Omary - The Noble Qur'an Encyclopedia

Ayah: 192

وَلَا يَسۡتَطِيعُونَ لَهُمۡ نَصۡرٗا وَلَآ أَنفُسَهُمۡ يَنصُرُونَ

(192) They are not able to avail them with help, nor are they able of helping themselves^[1848].

[1848] How can they worship such so-called ‘gods’ who cannot even help themselves? But they are heedless: “…his example is that of a dog, when you chase it away, it pants and when ˹even˺ you leave it, it pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our Signs; so recount ˹Muhammad˺ the stories perchance they may ponder. *Sordid is the example of the folk who denied Our Signs and did themselves a great injustice.” (7: 176-177).
