3895 False or imaginary objects of worship serve no purpose whatever. They cannot hear; if they could hear, they could not grant prayers or petitions. In fact, if they are real creatures, such as angels or deified human beings, they will very rightly repudiate any such worship as brings them into competition or "partnership" with Allah. See next note. 3896 Cf.
10:28 and n. 1418; also
34:40-41. No false ideas or false impressions will remain when true values are restored. Why not then accept the Truth now in this life, and get on to the true path of Grace? 3897 None can tell you the Truth better than He Who is All-Wise and All- Knowing. Why not accept His Message and receive His guidance?
