Translation

This is the creation of Allah. So show Me what those other than Him have created. Rather, the wrongdoers are in clear error.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

O idolaters! The aforementioned is all the creation of Allah, so show Me what those you worship other than Allah have created. Rather, the wrongdoers are in clear deviance from the truth, because they attribute such objects to Allah that cannot create anything, but are themselves created.
