Indefinite noun

أَئِفْكًا (Is it falsehood -) has no ال and takes tanwīn (the "n" sound at the end), so it means "a" or "some" — not a specific one.

We translate it as "a/an" or leave it general.

Question marker

أَئِفْكًا (Is it falsehood -) marks a question — it turns the sentence into a question.

We rearrange the English into question form.

Is it falsehood [as] gods other than Allāh you desire?
