[ العنكبوت: 17]
29:17 You only worship, besides Allah, idols, and you produce a falsehood. Indeed, those you worship besides Allah do not possess for you [the power of] provision. So seek from Allah provision and worship Him and be grateful to Him. To Him you will be returned."
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishO idolaters, you are only worshipping idols which do not benefit or harm, and you are inventing a lie when you claim they are worthy of worship.
Those whom you worship besides Allah do not have the ability to provide for you that they should provide you.
Seek provision from Allah alone, as He is the Provider, worship Him alone, and thank Him for the provision He has blessed you with.
To Him alone you will be returned on the day of judgment to be reckoned and rewarded, not to Your idols”.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
"You worship besides Allah only idols, and you only invent falsehood. Verily, those whom you worship besides Allah have no power to give you provision, so seek your provision from Allah (Alone), and worship Him (Alone), and be grateful to Him. To Him (Alone) you will be brought back.

29:17 You only worship, besides Allah, idols, and you produce a falsehood. Indeed, translate in arabic
إنما تعبدون من دون الله أوثانا وتخلقون إفكا إن الذين تعبدون من دون الله لا يملكون لكم رزقا فابتغوا عند الله الرزق واعبدوه واشكروا له إليه ترجعون
سورة: العنكبوت - آية: ( 17 ) - جزء: ( 20 ) - صفحة: ( 398 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Those you worship besides Allah, he added, are simply idols and this way you are indeed creating falsehood and discord. Those you worship besides Allah do not have the power to provide for you livelihood, therefore betake yourselves to Providence seeking His bounty for your livelihood and worship Him and impel to yourselves to the feeling of gratitude and gratefulness to Him and do realize that to Him shall all of you return
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(29:17) Those that you worship instead of Allah are merely idols, and you are simply inventing lies (about them). *28 Indeed those whom you worship beside Allah have no power to provide you with any sustenance. So seek your sustenance from Allah and serve only Him and give thanks to Him alone. It is to Him that you will be sent back. *29
You only worship, besides Allah, idols, and you produce a falsehood. Indeed, meaning
*28) That is, "You are not forging idols but a lie. These idols are in themselves a lie. Then your beliefs that they are gods and goddesses, or they are incarnation of God, or His offspring, or His favourites, or intercessors with Him, ur that someone of them is bestower of health, or giver of children or jobs, are aII lies, which you have invented from your own whims and conjecture. The fact is that they are in no way more than idols-lifeless, powerless and impotent.
*29) In these few sentences the Prophet Abraham has put together aII rational arguments against idol-worship. There must necessarily be some reason for making somebody or something a deity. One such reason can be that somebody should be entitled to being a deity due to some personal excelle nce. Another, that he should be the creator of man, and man should be indebted to him for tiffs existence. Third, that he should be responsible for man's sustenance, his food and other means of life. Fourth, that man's future should be linked up with his support and bounty, and man may be afraid that annoying him would mean bringing about his own ruin. The Prophet Abraham said that none of these four things favoured idol-worship, but they all favoured and demanded pure God-worship. Saying that they are mere idols, he demolished the first argument, for a mere idol could have no excellence to entitle it to be a deity. Then, by saying that "You are their creator", be refuted the second argument, and "they have no power to give you any sustenance" destroyed the third reason. Lastly. he said, "You have to return to Allah ultimately" and not to the idols; therefore, it was not in their power to make or mar your destiny, but in the power of God alone. Thus, after a complete refutation of shirk, the Prophet Abraham made it clear to them that all the reasons for which man could regard somebody as a deity only applied to Allah, Who alone should be worshipped without associating anyone else with him.

تم اللہ کو چھوڑ کر جنہیں پوج رہے ہو وہ تو محض بت ہیں اور تم ایک جھوٹ گھڑ رہے ہو در حقیقت اللہ کے سوا جن کی تم پرستش کرتے ہو وہ تمہیں کوئی رزق بھی دینے کا اختیار نہیں رکھتے اللہ سے رزق مانگو اور اُسی کی بندگی کرو اور اس کا شکر ادا کرو، اسی کی طرف تم پلٹائے جانے والے ہو
