وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ
وَلَـٰكِن ظَلَمُوۤاْ أَنفُسَهُمْ فَمَا أَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ آلِهَتُهُمُ ٱلَّتِي
يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ وَمَا
زَادُوهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيبٍ

The Aya says:
And We have not
transgressed against them. They
transgressed against themselves. So
their gods did not shield them any when our command came and they did not
enrich them in anything other than destruction.
My personal note:
The Aya emphasizes
that the sin of people is always an act against oneself first and foremost and
that worshiping any entity other than Allah does not do but harm us.
Translation of the
transliterated words:
Wa maa: and not
Thalamnaahum: we transgressed
against them/ we were unjust to them
Note: THALAMNA is
derived from the root THA-L-M and it means darkness in the most concrete form.
This word also takes the meaning of misplacing right from wrong and
transgression or injustice since injustice is displacing right from wrong and a
decision made in darkness. THALAMNA is an action that is completed. It means
the action of misplacing/ transgressing or acting unjustly/ unfairly is
happened by the subject (first person plural) against the object (Hum=them).
wa laakin: but instead
Thalamooo: they transgressed against/ they were unjust to
Note: THALAMOO is
