ترجمهٔ معانی آیه 20 سوره سوره نحل - ترجمهٔ انگلیسی ـ دکتر ولید بلیهش العمری - دایرة المعارف قرآن کریم

آیه: 20

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَا يَخۡلُقُونَ شَيۡـٔٗا وَهُمۡ يُخۡلَقُونَ

(20) Those whom they invoke besides Allah create nothing, but they ˹themselves˺ are ˹being˺ created^[3250];

[3250] This fact goes on to further underline the unworthiness of their deities and strip them of their feigned ‘godhood’. They are no more than the creation of their own worshippers who are themselves created by the One True God (cf. al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr, Ibn ʿĀshūr)): “He said: “Do you worship that which you ˹yourselves˺ carve!”” (37: 95).
