Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The gods of the Idolators are not able to help ThemAllah denounces the idolators for taking the idols as gods alongside Allah, hoping that those gods will help them and provide for them and bring them closer to Allah. Allah says:لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ نَصْرَهُمْ(They cannot help them,) meaning, those gods cannot help their worshippers; they are too weak, too insignificant and too powerless.
