سُوْرَةُ هُوْدٍ
Surah Hud (11) — Ayah 109
فَلَا تَكُ فِى مِرْيَةٍ مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ ۚ مَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَعْبُدُ ءَابَآؤُهُم مِّن قَبْلُ ۚ وَإِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنقُوصٍ ﴿109﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
So be not in doubt (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) as to what these people (pagans and polytheists) worship. They worship nothing but what their fathers worshipped before (them). And verily, We shall repay them in full their portion without diminution.

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
109. So (O Prophet), do not be in doubt about what these people worship [121]. They worship them only with blind devotion, just as their forefathers did before them [122], and We will surely give them their full share without any reduction.
[121] This address to the Messenger of Allah is merely for further emphasis; otherwise, the address is to the general people. The Prophet removes such doubts from others—how could he himself be afflicted by such doubts?
[122]
Polytheistic Beliefs Are Wrong According to Revelation, Reason, and Experience:
That is, when punishment came upon the nation, their idols, caretakers, and shrines could not save them from Allah’s punishment, so how can the deities of these disbelievers of Makkah save or support them? Therefore, whatever beliefs these people have established regarding their deities are proven wrong by the standards of reason and experience. Thus, whatever is happening is merely due to blind imitation, and We will give such people their full punishment.
