Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Polythiests Shall be Questioned About the Shirk They CommittedAbout the polytheists, Allah said:وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعاً(And on the Day when We shall gather them all together,) This is on the Day of Resurrection, when He will ask them about the idols and rivals that they worshipped instead of Him.
