The Cave
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[18:51]
I did not make them witnesses of the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor of the creation of their own selves; and neither do I [have any need to] take as My helpers those [beings] that lead [men] astray.

* v.51 : I.e., “since they are but created beings, and not co-existent with Me, how can you take them for your masters?”-an allusion to the beings, real or imaginary, to which men ascribe divine qualities, either consciously or (as in the case of one’s submission to the “whisperings of Satan”) by subconscious implication.
* Since God is almighty, all-knowing, and self-sufficient, the belief that any being or power could have a “helping” share in His divinity, or could “mediate” between Him and man, causes the latter to go utterly astray.
