The Holy Quran 40:74 — Surah Ghafir

Arabic text

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالُوا۟ ضَلُّوا۟ عَنَّا بَل لَّمْ نَكُن نَّدْعُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ شَيْـًٔا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Translation

...to Allaah?" (Will they not assist you today as you claimed in the world?) They will reply, "They have been lost to us. In fact, (it has now occurred to us that) we never worshipped anything before this (because the gods we worshipped in the world were really nothing and our worship was wasted)." In this manner, does Allaah allow the Kaafiroon to stray. (They worship gods whom they admit are powerless in the Aakhirah.)
