93. Can they help you [66], or can they help themselves?
[66] The people of Hell will be asked: Tell us, where are those deities of yours today whom you considered your intercessors with Allah, and instead of Allah, you were devoted to making offerings and showing devotion to them? Today, they cannot even save themselves from Hell, so how could they possibly help you?
