    Please refer to Surah Nisa ayat 116 which provides the complete commentary from verse 116 through 122.

    (4:117) Rather than call upon Him, they call upon goddesses, and call upon a rebellious Satan[145]

    Ala-Maududi

    (4:117) Rather than call upon Him, they call upon goddesses, and call upon a rebellious Satan[145]

    145. No one sets up Satan as his ‘god’ in the sense that he makes him the object of his ritual worship and declares him to be God in so many words. The way to make Satan one’s god is to entrust one’s reins to him and let oneself be drawn helplessly in whichever direction he wants; the relationship between the two is, then, that of worshipper and worshipped. This shows that either absolute, unreserved obedience to or blind following of anybody is tantamount to ‘worshipping’ him, so that whoever indulges in this kind of absolute obedience is guilty of worshipping a ‘god’ other than the One True God.

    (117) They call upon instead of Him none but female [deities], and they [actually] call upon none but a rebellious Satan,
