*24) Here, deities do not mean idols but the angels, the prophets; the saints, the martyrs and the pious men, whom the mushriks of different communities have made their deities.
*25) Such dialogues between Allah and the gods of the disbelievers occur at several places in the Qur'an. For instance, in Surah Saba it has been stated: "On the day when He will gather them all together, He will ask the angels, 'Did these people worship you?' They will answer, `Glory be to Thee ! Thou art our Patron and not they: they in fact worshipped the jinns (that is, satans); most of these believed in them." (vv. 40-41). Similarly in Surah Al-Ma'idah, it is said:" And when AIIah will say "O Jesus, son of Mary, did you ever say to the people: `Make me and my mother gods instead of Allah?' He will answer, `Glory be to Thee ! It did not behove me to say that which I had no right to say...I told them only that which Thou didst bid me: 'Worship Allah, Who is myLord as well as your Lord'." (vv. 116, 117).

اور وہ وہی دن ہو گا جب کہ (تمہارا رب) اِن لوگوں کو بھی گھیر لائے گا اور ان کے اُن معبودوں کو بھی بُلا لے گا جنہیں آج یہ اللہ کو چھوڑ کر پوج رہے ہیں، پھر وہ اُن سے پوچھے گا "کیا تم نے میرے اِن بندوں کر گمراہ کیا تھا؟ یا یہ خود راہِ راست سے بھٹک گئے تھے؟"
