فَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهِيدًا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ إِن كُنَّا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكُمْ لَغَافِلِينَ (29)
(10:29) Allah's witness suffices between you and us that (even if you worshipped us) we were totally unaware of your worshipping us. *37
*37). This shows how the false gods will react to their worshippers. Angels who had been declared gods and goddesses and therefore, worshipped, the jinn, the spirits, the forefathers of yore, the Prophets, and the saints and martyrs who were considered to share with God some of His attributes, will all disavow their devotees. They will tell the latter in quite plain terms that they were not even aware that they were being worshipped; that even if they had been prayed to, called upon or cried out to, or had had offerings or sacrifices made in their name, or who had had reverence, adoration, prostration, rituals or ceremonies performed out of devotion for them, none of these had ever reached them.
