Discussion about worshiping idols and discarding them

Have you considered Lat and 'Uzza,

And Manat, the other third (of the pagan deities)?

Are there sons for you, and daughters for Him?

This is certainly an unjust apportioning.

These are only names which you and your fathers have invented. No authority was sent down by God for them. They only follow conjecture and wish-fulfilment, even though guidance had come to them already from their Lord.

Can ever man get what he desires?

To God belong the End and the Beginning.

Many as the angels be in heaven their intercession will not avail in the least without God's permission for whomsoever He please and approve.

Those who do not believe in the Hereafter give the angels names of females.

Yet they have no knowledge of this, and follow nothing but conjecture, but conjecture cannot replace the truth.

So you turn away from him who turns away from Our rememberance and wants nothing but the life of this world:

This is the farthest limit of their knowledge. Surely your Lord alone knows best who has strayed away from the path and who has come to guidance.
