The word
Tághut covers a wide range of meanings:

It means anything worshipped other than the Real God (Allah),
but the one who does not accept to be worshipped will not be considered as a Tághut, i.e. all the false deities.

It may be Satan, devils, idols, stones, sun, stars, angels, human beings, who were falsely worshipped and taken as Tághuts.
Likewise saints,graves, rulers, leaders, etc., are falsely worshipped and wrongly followed.

Sometimes "Tághut" means a false judge who gives a false judgement
