And those you call upon besides Him are unable to help you, nor can they help themselves."
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
Those you call upon O idolators from amongst these idols, are not able to help you, and are not able to help themselves. For they are utterly incapable, unable to do anything. So how can you call upon them instead of calling upon Allah?
