Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The People's admission of their gods' incapability, and Ibrahim's preachingAllah tells us that when Ibrahim said what he said, his peopleفَرَجَعُواْ إِلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ(turned to themselves) meaning, they blamed themselves for not taking precautions and protecting their gods. They said:إِنَّكُمْ أَنتُمُ الظَّـلِمُونَ(Verily, you are the wrongdoers) i.e., because you neglected them and did not guard them.
