Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Denouncing the Worship of anything besides AllahAllah tells us about the Mushrikin who worship others besides Him, even though He alone is the bountiful Provider, the Creator and Sustainer, without partners or associates, but they still worship idols and make rivals for Him.
