Chapter 15 Apostasy and Blasphemy (2) Sometime after the death of Idr is, ignorance spread among the people. There was no Prophet among the people at that time. Iblis appeared to the people and told them: "Worship those five statues." The people worshipped1 those statues and as a result, became blasphemers. وَقَالُوا لا تَذَرُنَّ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَلا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلا سُوَاعًا وَلا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا Ayah 23 of Surat Nuh states the names of the five pious Muslims the people made statues of and worshipped. The names of those five pious Muslims were: Wadd, Suwa^, Yaghuth, Ya^uq, and Nasr. 1 Worship: Extreme submission with total humbleness; restarting to an idol, the sun, or fire is an act of worship to those objects and is blasphemy
