Al Ahqaf Ayah 28

فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ قُرْبَانًا ءَالِهَةَۢ‌ۖ بَلْ ضَلُّواْ عَنْهُمْ‌ۚ وَذَٲلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ ٢٨ Why then did those ?idols? they took as gods—hoping to get closer ?to Him?—not come to their aid? Instead, they failed them. That is ?the result of? their lies and their fabrications.
