    121. Because they were obeying these devils in their worship. Thus, secretly they became the worshippers of these devils and not us.

    122. Here the word 'most' denotes all, because all the infidels were believers of the devils. Or, them is the antecedent of man, in which case it would mean most human beings were believing in the devils, and just a few were believers (Tafseer Roohul Mu'ani). 

    123. Here the word faith is used literally and not in terms of religious laws.
