Reflection — Ibn Kathir
The Idols of the Polytheists will deny Their Worship
Allah, the Exalted, informs about the disbelievers who associate partners with their Lord, that they have taken gods besides Allah, so that these gods may be a source of honor and might for them. They think that these gods give them power and make them victorious. Then, Allah mentions that the matter is not as they claim, and it will not be as they hope. He says,
كَلاَّ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَـدَتِهِمْ
