Translation of the verse 81 from Surah Maryam : Number of verses 98 - - page 311 - Part 16.
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 have taken besides Allah [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.
(19:81) These people have set up other gods than Allah so that they may become their supporters. *49
*49) The Arabic word 'Izzan (from 'Izat) implies a powerful and strong person whom nobody may dare do any harm; here it means a person's having such a strong supporter that no enemy or opponent of his may even cherish an evil intention against him.
