إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ عِبَادٌ أَمْثَالُكُمْ ۖ فَٱدْعُوهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Indeed, those you [polytheists] call upon besides Allāh are servants [i.e., creations] like you. So call upon them and let them respond to you, if you should be truthful.

— Saheeh International

Those you [idolaters] call upon instead of God are created beings like you. Call upon them, then, and let them respond to you if what you say is true.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Verily, those whom you call upon besides Allâh are slaves like you. So call upon them and let them answer you if you are truthful.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
