Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it true that the names of the idols of the polytheists are derived from the beautiful names of Allah, and thus they do not save them?

Al-Lat was derived by them from Allah, al-Uzza from al-Aziz (the Mighty), and Manat from al-Mannan (the Bestower of Bounties). Allah knows best. This is in the interpretation of the statement of Allah the Exalted:[Al-A'raf 7:180] Indeed, this is a deviation in the names of Allah to name the idols with them. Yes.
