قَالُوا۟ نَعْبُدُ أَصْنَامًا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَـٰكِفِينَ (71)

They replied, “We worship idols, to which we are fully devoted.”

قَالَ هَلْ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ إِذْ تَدْعُونَ (72)

Abraham asked, “Can they hear you when you call upon them?

أَوْ يَنفَعُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَضُرُّونَ (73)

أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ (76)

you and your ancestors?

They are ˹all˺ enemies to me, except the Lord of all worlds.
