Surah Yusuf 12:40

(Are many different lords (gods) better or Allah, the One, the Irresistible) to Whose grace and infinite kingdom everything and everyone has submitted in humiliation. Prophet Yusuf explained to them next that it is because of their ignorance that they worship false deities and give them names, for these names were forged and are being transferred from one generation to the next generation. They have no proof or authority that supports this practice, hence his statement to them,

(for which Allah has sent down no authority) or proof and evidence. He then affirmed that the judgement, decision, will and kingdom are all for Allah alone, and He has commanded all of His servants to worship none but Him. He said,

(that is the straight religion,) `this, Tawhid of Allah and directing all acts of worship at Him alone in sincerity, that I am calling you to is the right, straight religion that Allah has ordained and for which He has revealed what He wills of proofs and evidences,'

(but most men know not.), and this is why most of them are idolators,

(And most of mankind will not believe even if you eagerly desire it.) 12:103 When Yusuf finished calling them, he started interpreting their dreams for them,

Kelanjutan dari seruan Yusuf adalah semua yang mereka sembah selain Allah itu adalah tuhan-tuhan palsu yang sengaja diberi nama bermacam-macam oleh mereka sendiri, bapak-bapak dan nenek-moyang mereka. Yusuf berkata, "Kamu yang membuatnya, kamu yang memberinya nama dan kamu pula yang menyembahnya sebagai Tuhan. Padahal dia adalah benda yang lemah yang tidak mempunyai kekuatan apa-apa dan tidak ada pula keterangan dari Allah kepada rasul-rasul-Nya untuk membenarkan tuhan yang kamu buat-buat itu. Bahwa ketentuan yang benar tentang ketuhanan dan pengabdian ialah yang diatur oleh Allah yang telah diwahyukan kepada rasul-rasul-Nya. Allah telah memerintahkan, bahwa janganlah kamu menyembah selain Allah. Kepada-Nyalah kamu berdoa dan minta tolong, kepada-Nyalah kamu sujud bersimpuh. Itulah agama yang lurus. Tetapi kebanyakan manusia belum mengetahuinya."
