44. 1. That is, due to the whisperings of Satan and his deception, you worship such idols who neither have the power to hear nor see, nor the ability to benefit or harm. So, in reality, this is the worship of Satan himself, who is disobedient to Allah and strives to make others disobedient to Allah as well, making them like himself.
