Transliteration

Wa la'in sa altahum man khalaqahum la yaqoolun nallaahu fa annaa yu'fakoon

Translation

And if you asked them who created them, they would surely say, "Allah." So how are they deluded?

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

And if you ask them, “Who created you?” they would definitely say, “Allah created us”, so how can they then turn away from His worship after this acknowledgement?
