… They have lost their own selves
and what they invented has forsak-
en them. (Surat al-A‘raf: 53)
… They will be returned to Allah,
their Master, the Real, and what they
invented will abandon them. (Surah
Yunus: 30)
Then they will be asked, “Where are
those besides Allah you associated
with Him?” and they will reply, “They
have forsaken us. Or rather we were not
calling to anything at all before.” That
is how Allah misguides the kafirun.

(Surah Ghafir: 74)
As Allah says in the verse from Surah
Ghafir, when these people die, they will under-
stand that what they had worshipped in this
world was an image. They may then say “we
were not calling to anything at all before” but
those with intelligence and awareness must
consider and understand this truth which
everyone will fully understand in the world to
come, in this world while there is still time.
