Look at his saying, “Say, ‘name them.’” If they called them by “them,” then they are the same. They do not say about their deity a stone, a tree, or a planet that he carves with his hand and then worships him. So he did not worship his essence and the image of his work. And if they called them a god, you know that the god they worshiped is the fulfillment of the matter in itself, and the verse mentioned in the Qur’an indicates it.
