Shall we worship, instead of Allah that will not help us neither in this world nor in the Afterlife?
Shall we worship, instead of Allah that will not harm us neither in this world nor in the Afterlife?
Would we worship anything instead of Allah after He has honoured us with Islam?

Ayah 71 says:
The unbelievers of Mecca told the Prophet Muhammad and the believers to turn back and worship their idols and return to their idolatry.
Allah commanded his Last Prophet Muhammad to say to them:
‘Shall we worship, instead of Allah, that which neither profit us, if we worship them, nor hurt us, if we neglect them after He has guided us, to Islam? If we do that we will be like one whom the devils have lured, led astray, in the earth, bewildered, confused, not knowing where to go!
Anything you worship instead of Allah will not help us neither in this world nor in the Afterlife.
Anything you worship instead of Allah will not harm us neither in this world nor in the Afterlife.
Would we worship anything you worship instead of Allah after He has honoured us with His Religion?
Say: ‘Truly, Allah’s guidance, which is Islam, is the true guidance, everything else being error, and we have been command ed to submit to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

Say: surely the guidance of Allah, that is the (true) guidance, and we were command ed that we should submit to the lord of the worlds
PICKTHAL:
Say: shall we cry, instead of unto Allah, unto that which neither profiteth us nor hurteth us, and shall we turn back after Allah hath guided us, like one bewildered whom the devils have infatuated in the earth, who hath companions who invite him to the guidance (saying): come unto us? say: lo! the guidance of Allah is guidance, and we were ordered to surrender to the lord of the worlds,
YUSUFALI:
Say: “shall we indeed call on others besides Allah,- things that can do us neither good nor harm,- and turn on our heels after receiving guidance from Allah? – like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wand ering bewildered through the earth, his friends calling, come to us’, (vainly) guiding him to the path.” say: “Allah’s guidance is the (only) guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the lord of the worlds;-
