Quran is challenging the idol worshippers ( Did you see Allaat and Ozza and Manaat) which are three famous idols worshipped by them, that they can never help you or any one. So, mentioning the names of these three idols was to challenge the idol worshippers and condemn idol worshipping. Some scholars suggest that it might be a hint for Muslims who will blindly follow three persons like worshipping them, as they will never help them in this life and hereafter and warn from the harm of such blind following of such wrong leaders.
