surah Furqan aya 3 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿وَاتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً لَّا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَاةً وَلَا نُشُورًا﴾
[ الفرقان: 3]
25:3 But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishInstead of Allah, the idolaters adopted deities who cannot create anything small or large, but are themselves created.
Verily, Allah created them from non-existence; they are unable to fend off any harm from themselves nor bring themselves any benefit, nor are they able to cause death to any living or give life to any dead, or raise the dead from their graves.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Yet they have taken besides Him other aliha (gods) that created nothing but are themselves created, and possess neither hurt nor benefit for themselves, and possess no power (of causing) death, nor (of giving) life, nor of raising the dead.

واتخذوا من دونه آلهة لا يخلقون شيئا وهم يخلقون ولا يملكون لأنفسهم ضرا ولا نفعا ولا يملكون موتا ولا حياة ولا نشورا
سورة: الفرقان - آية: ( 3 ) - جزء: ( 18 ) - صفحة: ( 360 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Yet they -the infidels- never deviated into sense and they went further and fared worse by taking false gods besides Allah, objects of worship who and/or which can create nothing -animate or inanimate-; in fact they themselves were created. Furthermore, they have no power to control their own destiny nor can they defend themselves against what is destined to do them harm nor stop what is meant to profit them nor do they have the power to give life nor to cause death -in the divine manner- nor can they effect Resurrection
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(25:3) Yet the people have set up, besides Him, deities, who do not create anything but are themselves created : *9 who can neither harm nor help even themselves: who have no power over life or death, nor can they raise up the dead. *10

*9) The words are comprehensive and cover aII the false gods whom the mushriks worship whether they are angels, jinns, Prophets, saints, the sun, the moon, the stars, trees, rivers, animals etc., which have been created by AIIah, or those which have been created by man, as the idols of stone, wood, etc.
*10) That is, "Allah has sent down AI-Furqan on His servant so that he may invite the people to the Truth, which they have forsaken due to heedlessness and waywardness, and warn them of the evil consequences of their folly. The Furqan is being revealed piecemeal so that he may distinguish right from wrong and the genuine from the counterfeit. "

لوگوں نے اُسے چھوڑ کر ایسے معبود بنا لیے جو کسی چیز کو پیدا نہیں کرتے بلکہ خود پیدا کیے جاتے ہیں، جو خود اپنے لیے بھی کسی نفع یا نقصان کا اختیار نہیں رکھتے، جو نہ مار سکتے ہیں نہ جِلا سکتے ہیں، نہ مرے ہوئے کو پھر اٹھا سکتے ہیں
