And they worship besides Allah that which does not possess for them [the power of] provision from the heavens and the earth at all, and [in fact], they are unable.
Ibn Kathir
Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)
Denouncing the Worship of anything besides Allah
Allah tells
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ
And they worship others besides Allah,
Allah tells us about the Mushrikin who worship others besides Him, even though He alone is the bountiful Provider, the Creator and Sustainer, without partners or associates, but they still worship idols and make rivals for Him.
He says:
مَا لَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ رِزْقًا مِّنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالَارْضِ شَيْيًا
such as do not have power to grant them any provision from the heavens or the earth,
meaning, nobody can cause rain to fall, or make plants and trees grow.
وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
nor the ability to do so.
They cannot do these things for them- selves, even if they wanted to.
Thus Allah says
