IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[19:44]
"O my father! Do not worship Satan – for, verily, Satan is a rebel against the Most Gracious!

* v.44 : The absurdity inherent in the attribution of divine qualities to anything or anyone but God is here declared, by implication, to be equivalent to “worshipping” the epitome of unreason and ingratitude symbolized in Satan’s rebellion against his Creator. In this connection it should be noted that the term shaytān is derived from the verb shatana, signifying “he was [or “became”] remote [from the truth];’ (Lisān al-‘Arab, Tāj al-‘Arūs); hence, the Qur’ān describes every impulse that inherently offends against truth, reason, and morality as “satanic,” and every conscious act of submission to such satanic influences as a “worship of Satan.”
