Expecting these idols to get them closer to God or intercede on their behalf on the Day of Judgment when these idols are unaware of being worshipped (like Jesus, Mary and Muhammad). Note they’re all humans, righteous people and not just statues and they, themselves, are seeking God’s mercy and forgiveness!!! [46:5] Who is farther astray than those who idolize beside GOD idols that can never respond to them until the Day of Resurrection, and are totally unaware of their worship?[46:6] And when the people are summoned (on the Day of Judgment), their idols will become their enemies, and will denounce their idolatry. [10:18] They worship beside GOD idols that possess no power to harm them or benefit them, and they say, “These are our intercessors at GOD!” Say, “Are you informing GOD of something He does not know in the heavens or the earth?” Be He glorified. He is the Most High; far above needing partners. [17:57] Even the idols that they implore are seeking the ways and means towards their Lord. They pray for His mercy, and fear His retribution. Surely, the retribution of your Lord is dreadful. [39:3] Absolutely, the religion shall be devoted to GOD alone. Those who set up idols beside Him say, “We idolize them only to bring us closer to GOD; for they are in a better position!” GOD will judge them regarding their disputes. GOD does not guide such liars, disbelievers. [2:166] Those who were followed will disown those who followed them. They will see the retribution, and all ties among them will be severed.
