They think that these gods give them power and make them victorious. Then, Allah mentions that the matter is not as they claim, and it will not be as they hope.

And they have chosen (other) gods beside Allah that they may be a power for them.

And they have taken (for worship) gods other than Allah, to give them power and glory!

And they have taken (for worship) aliha (gods) besides Allah, that they might give them honour, power and glory (and also protect them from Allah's Punishment etc.).

And they took, besides God, other gods, to be for them a source of strength.
