Secondly:

 Not only there are fabricated 'holy' names which are being worshiped but also 'holy' honorifics, terms, titles, epithets, and descriptions fashioned to qualify dead deified mortals who died without knowing anything about such invented, false descriptions attributed to them which have nothing to do with Islam (i.e., the Quran). Let us exemplify this in the points below.

1- (The Righteous Caliphs) is a title that emerged during the Abbasid Era to describe the four pre-Umayyad Abou Bakr, Omar, Othman, and Ali; this title became sanctified with the passage of time. If a man would curse aloud and in public the so-called 'righteous' caliphs, the masses may kill him despite the fact that those four caliphs died and never knew about this fabricated title.

2- (The Ten Men Promised with Paradise) is a title that emerged during the Abbasid Era; this title became sanctified with the passage of time. Muhammad never knew the future to promise any men that their fate is in Paradise: "Say, “I am not different from the other messengers; and I do not know what will be done with me, or with you..." (46:9). If a man would curse aloud and in public the so-called ten men promised with Paradise, the masses may kill him despite the fact that such ten men died and never knew about this fabricated title.

3- (The Master of Martyrs) is a title fashioned by the Shiites during the Abbasid Era to describe their deity known as Al-Hussein (son of Fatima, daughter of Muhammad); this title became sanctified with the passage of time. The man named as Al-Hussein was murdered before knowing anything about this title. If a man would curse aloud in a Shiite mosque the so-called Master of Martyrs, the Shiite masses may kill him.

4- (The People of the Household) is a title fashioned by Shiites during the Abbasid Era to describe household members of the Shiite deity Ali Ibn Abou Talib; this title became sanctified with the passage of time. This Quranic term (people of the household) refers to any wife/wives inside a house/family. If a man would curse aloud in a Shiite mosque (the People of the Household), the Shiite masses may kill him.

5- (The Companions of Muhammad) is a title that emerged during the Abbasid Era to indicate tens of thousands of people who were, supposedly, the contemporaries of Muhammad in the 7^th century Arabia; this title became sanctified with the passage of time. In contrast, the Quranic term companion describes Muhammad who was the companion of disbelievers of Qorayish tribesmen; i.e., he lived in the same era and location with them. Those who deify the so-called companions of Muhammad tend to forget that most of those who lived inside Yathreb alongside with Muhammad were hypocrites who will enter into the depths of Hell in the Hereafter. If a man would curse aloud in public the hypocritical companions of Muhammad, the Sunnite masses may kill him. 

6- (Good Ancestors) or Salaf is a title that emerged during the Abbasid Era to indicate tens of thousands of people; this title became sanctified with the passage of time. The Muhammadans who deify the so-called Salaf or good ancestors tend to forget that most of such men committed the heinous crimes (during the Umayyad Era) of the major Arab civil wars, the Karbala massacre, and the siege of Mecca when the Kaaba was burned down, the Al-Harrah battle when Yathreb was pillaged and looted and its women and children were raped for three days. Such struggles were among the Umayyads and (1) the Hashemites, (2) Abdullah Ibn Al-Zubayr, and (3) Al-Khawarij. We refer readers to our books on the Karbala massacre.  If a man would curse aloud in public the so-called 'good' ancestors, the Sunnite masses may kill him. 

7- (Al-Ashraf) or 'the honorable ones' is a title that emerged during the Abbasid Era to indicate the alleged descendants of Muhammad through the married couple Fatima and Ali; this Shiite title became sanctified with the passage of time. This title is never mentioned in the Quran at all; besides, to claim superiority by means of this silly title contradicts the Quran: "O people! We created you from a male and a female, and made you races and tribes, that you may know one another. The best among you in the sight of God isthe most righteous. God is All-Knowing, Well-Experienced." (49:13). If a man would curse aloud in public the so-called Ashraf, the Shiite masses may kill him.

8- (The Argument of Islam) or Hujja of Islam is the honorific title given to the Sufi author Abou Hamid al-Ghazaly during the Mameluke Era; this Sufi title became sanctified with the passage of time. The only argument of Islam is the Quran itself: God's Word: "That was Our argument which We gave to Abraham against his people. We elevate by degrees whomever We will. Your Lord is Wise and Informed." (6:83); "Say, “To God belongs the conclusive argument. Had He willed, He would have guided you all.”" (6:149). It is ridiculous to imagine Islam without an argument until Al-Ghazaly came along! If a man would criticize this honorific title aloud in public, the Sufi Sunnite masses may kill him.

9- (Sheikh Al-Islam) is an honorific title that emerged during the Mameluke Era; this title became sanctified with the passage of time. It is now employed to describe the head-sheikh of Al-Azhar in Cairo, Egypt. The term sheikh has nothing to do with the Quran or with knowledge of any type. It is an Arabic/Quranic term meaning (an old man). It refers to the senile age; yet, Sunnite clergymen made it a 'holy' title within their hierarchy. Islam has no sheikh(s) or clergy at all; Islam (i.e., the Quran) has its messenger, Muhammad, and that is all!

10- (The Grand Imam) is a Sunnite honorific title fashioned in the 20^th century to describe the head-sheikh of Al-Azhar in Cairo, Egypt. This title became sanctified with the passage of time. This blasphemous title shows as if the occupant of such a high-rank post in Egypt has a higher stature than Muhammad himself. No Egyptian man dares to question or cast doubt on this blasphemous honorific title.

11- (Ayatollah) or, literally, ''the sign of Allah'' is a Shiite honorific title fashioned in the 20^th century to describe the high-rank Shiite clergy. This title became sanctified with the passage of time. No Iranian man dares to question or cast doubt on this blasphemous honorific title.

12- (Rohollah) or, literally, ''the spirit of Allah'' is a Shiite honorific title fashioned in the 20^th century to describe Al-Khomeini. This title became sanctified with the passage of time. No Iranian man dares to question or cast doubt on this blasphemous honorific title.

13- (The Awaited Mehdi) or (the Absent Imam) is a title formed by the Shiites during the Abbasid Era; it became sanctified with the passage of time. Would any man dare to question or cast doubt on this blasphemous title and notion in the presence of Shiites?

14- Abou Hanifa died in 150 A.H. without knowing that centuries after his death, the Sunnites will grant him a title which will place him in a higher stature above Muhammad himself: (the Grandest Imam); this blasphemous title was formed by the Sunnite fiqh scholars of the Hanafy doctrine. Sadly, this honorific title is still used by marriage registrars in Egypt; they typically pronounce the phrase: (this marriage contract is concluded as per the doctrine of the Grandest imam Abou Hanifa Al-Numan). Once we attended a marriage ceremony in Egypt and we protested vociferously against this phrase uttered by the marriage registrar; we, unawares, caused a major trouble at this wedding! 

Thirdly:

 The Muhammadans follow the footsteps of ancient polytheistic disbelievers and their religions of worshiping names.

1- If anyone would curse aloud the goddesses and gods, mentioned in 71:23, of Noah's polytheistic people, no one would care; if a man were alive during the era of Noah and cursed such names the people of Noah would have killed such a man. This is because they are mere sanctified names worshiped by the people of Noah, for 950 years, alongside their worshiping the Lord God, until such unjust polytheists drowned in the deluge. Noah felt sorry that they worshiped such names of false gods and imaginary deities: "And they said, “Do not give up your gods; do not give up Wadd, nor Souwa, nor Yaghoos, and Yaooq, and Nassr." (71:23).

2- The Lord God delivered Noah and the monotheistic believers with him in the Ark during the flood which drowned the unjust polytheists who worshiped such sanctified names. Yet, worshiping names returned, with a vengeance, within the Aad tribe whose polytheists said the following to Hud: "They said, “Did you come to us to make us worship God alone, and abandon what our ancestors used to worship? Then bring us what you threaten us with, if you are truthful.”" (7:70). Hud responded to them in anger: " He said, “Condemnation and wrath have befallen you from your Lord. Are you arguing with me over names, which you and your ancestors invented, for which God sent down no authority? Just wait; I am waiting with you.”" (7:71).

3- The ancient Egyptians during the Pharaonic Era knew and worshiped Allah as per what we infer from the Quranic stories of Moses and Joseph; yet, they worshiped Allah or God alongside with local/minor and major/main gods and goddesses and each of such deities has its 'holy' name. We quote here how Joseph, in prison, talked to his two cell-mates: "“O My fellow inmates, are diverse gods better, or Allah, the One, the Supreme?” “You do not worship, besides Him, except names you have named, you and your ancestors, for which God has sent down no authority. Judgment belongs to none but God. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. This is the right religion, but most people do not know." (12:39-40).

4- Sadly, the name of a main Pharaonic god, Amon, has infiltrated into the prayers and supplications of Jews, Christians, and Muhammadans alike worldwide, past and present, in the polytheistic term (Amen) which has nothing to do with Islam or with Allah.

5- The Arabs (Gentiles and some Jews) in Arabia, separated from Egypt only by the Red Sea, were influenced by the Pharaonic ancient religion known as Gypt: " Have you not considered those who were given a share of the Book? They believe in Gypt and Taghut, and say of those who disbelieve, “These are better guided on the way than the believers.”" (4:51). The term Gypt is the root of the European terms (Egypt) and (Copts). The influence of the Pharaonic ancient religion or Gypt, is very great in Europe and Arabia in ancient eras; the worship of the trinity of Isis, Osiris, and Horus existed in Arabia; Arabs worshiped the name of the goddess Isis or Uzza in Arabic alongside with the names of the goddesses Al-Lat and Manat; some Jews in Arabia worship the name of the god Osiris or Osir in Arabic; it is still revered now by the polytheistic Muhammadans as the angel of death: "The Jews said, "Osir is the son of God"..." (9:30); "Have you considered Al-Lat and Al-Uzza? And Manat, the third one, the other? Are you to have the males, and He the females? What a bizarre distribution. These are nothing but names, which you have devised, you and your ancestors, for which God sent down no authority. They follow nothing but assumptions, and what the souls desire, even though guidance has come to them from their Lord." (53:19-23).   

6- After the drowning of the unjust polytheists among the people of Noah in the deluge, worshiping names stopped temporarily and returned, with a vengeance, within other generations in later eras. This occurred once the revelation of the Holy Quran ended; generations later, worshiping names returned, with a vengeance, as we have explained in the points above. The worst type of worshiping names among the Muhammadans is worshiping the name (Muhammad) itself and ascribing divine or God-like qualities to it. This polytheism will be discussed in the next article of this book.
