They will say, "Be You glorified. You are our Lord, not them. No, most of them were serving the Jinn; most were those who acknowledge them."

[34:41] Following the teaching of Perverse is the equivalent of serving him. Even if someone claims to serve God, if he is following other teachings for salvation, he is serving Satan. The only way for protecting oneself is to dedicate one’s purpose in life to God alone (15:39-42). Those who hope for the intercession of prophets, saints, and controllers, and consider them to be partners with God in issuing the system, in fact do not serve them. Service requires mutual acceptance. Considering someone who rejects any other lord besides God to be one's lord is a contradiction and pleases Satan. In the hereafter, righteous people who were idolized against their will, will reject those who "worship them." (19:82; 46:6).
