Reflection — Ibn Kathir
The insignificance of the Idols and the foolishness of their Worshippers
Here Allah points out the insignificance of the idols and the foolishness of those who worship them.
يأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
مَا قَدَرُوا اللَّـهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ (They did not recognize Allah in His true esteem - 22:74). It means that these people are so foolish and ungrateful that they did not recognize the power of Allah Ta’ ala and place their helpless idols at the same level with Him.
