Surah Fatir (The Creator ) 35 : 14

Explanatory Note

The sūrah goes further in drawing a true image of them: “If you invoke them they cannot hear your call.” (Verse 14) They are statues, idols, trees, stars, angels or jinn; and none of them actually owns the skin of a date-stone. None of them can respond to those who worship them, but, “Even if they could hear, they would not respond to you.” This applies, for example, to the jinn and the angels. The jinn cannot respond, while the angels do not respond to those who have gone astray. All this is relevant to this present life, but on the Day of Judgement they disassociate themselves from error and those who follow it: “On the Day of Resurrection they will utterly disown your having associated them with God.” This is stated by the One who knows everything in this life and beyond it, who overlooks nothing in the universe now or in the life to come: “None can give you information like the One who is all-aware.”
