(Al-Ahqaaf) 46 : 28
فَلَوْلَا نَصَرَهُمُ الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ قُرْبَانًا آلِهَةً ۖ بَلْ ضَلُّوا عَنْهُمْ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ إِفْكُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ
Then why didn't the deities other than Allah that they had taken as means of nearness help them? Nay, they strayed from them; that was their forgery, and what they used to fabricate.
Without utilizing Adhikr — the Permission of the Three-Time Knower Allah mentioned in 10:100, and the Splendid Book mentioned in verses 41:41-43 — as the Shield and Safeguard against calamities and Hellfire, whoever follows any other lifeway is following a lie and forgery.
Adhikr is the only Straightpath, mentioned in thirty-five places such as 1:5; 6:153; 36:61; and 42:52, which Allah satisfied for all His creatures from Aadam to the last human, as explained in verse 3:19. See explanation 4:174-175; 6:94; and 21:24-25.
