Vers: 18

قَالُواْ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنۢبَغِي لَنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ مِن دُونِكَ مِنۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ وَلَٰكِن مَّتَّعۡتَهُمۡ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ نَسُواْ ٱلذِّكۡرَ وَكَانُواْ قَوۡمَۢا بُورٗا

18. They will say: "(O Allāh) You alone deserve all Glory (Honour and Praise). We are not supposed to take any guardian  (lord, savior)  other than You6. But you let them and their forefathers enjoy (the pleasures of the worldly life) until they forgot the warning7, and thereby became a people (corrupt) and doomed to perdition.

6. So they had no right to take us as such and make us objects of their worship.
7. Mohammad, God's messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever dies worshipping other gods besides Allāh will enter Hell.”
