DENOUNCING THE IDOLATORS FOR THEIR WORSHIP OF OTHER gods BESIDES ALLĀH
ALLĀH says,
ءَأَرۡبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيۡرٌ أَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡوَٰحِدُ ٱلۡقَهَّارُ
Are many different lords (gods) better or ALLĀH, the One, the Irresistible?
That is, gods who are helpless and weak, and can neither bring benefit nor cause harm, give or withhold, and they are of many different types: trees, rocks, angels, the dead and other objects of worship that the polytheists take as gods. Is that better or, "ALLĀH" Who possesses all attributes of perfection, "the One" in HIS essence, attributes and actions, and HE has no partner in any of that.
"the Irresistible" to Whose might and power all things submit; whatever HE wills happens and whatever HE does not will does not happen.
مَّا مِن دَاۤبَّةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ ءَاخِذُۢ بِنَاصِیَتِهَاۤۚ إِنَّ رَبِّی عَلَىٰ صِرَ ٰطࣲ مُّسۡتَقِیمࣲ
...There is no living creature but HE holds it ˹in HIS control˺ by its forelock... (11: 56)
It is well known that One Who is like this is better than the various gods that are mere names and are not perfect at all and do not do anything.

#sadi #yusuf (12:39)
‘Imran ibn Husayn (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said to my father, “O Husayn, how many gods do you worship today?” My father said, “Seven. Six on earth and one in heaven.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “In which of them do you depend for your most ardent hopes and concerns?” He said, “The one in heaven.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Husayn, if you accept Islam, I will teach you two words to benefit you.” Later when Husayn had embraced Islam, he said, “O Messenger of ALLĀH, teach me the two words you promised to me.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Say: O ALLĀH, inspire me with guidance and protect me from the evil of my ego.” {Sunan al-Tirmidhi #3483}
Jabir (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said, “O Messenger of ALLĀH, what are the two inevitabilities?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever dies without associating anything with ALLĀH will enter Paradise, and whoever dies associating anything with ALLĀH will enter Hellfire.” {Muslim #93
