Question:
Are the worshippers of graves called worshippers of false gods or worshippers of idols?

Answer:
They are worshippers of false gods, and they are also called worshippers of idols. Idols may be called false gods. Ibrahim said:
You only worship, besides Allah, idolsإِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَوْثَانًا
[Al-'Ankabut: 17]. And they worship idols, which are called idols and also false gods. However, the graves themselves are called false gods, while the idols are called idols and also false gods.
The rule is: an idol is what is carved in the form of an image, such as the image of a lion, the image of a prophet, the image of a righteous person, or the image of a hyena. These are called images, and they are called idols, and they are also called false gods.
