Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Shirk Shall not be Forgiven, in Reality the Idolators Worship ShaytanWe talked about Allah's statement,إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ(Verily, Allah forgives not (the sin of) setting up partners (in worship) with Him, but He forgives whom He wills, sins other than that,) before and mentioned the relevant Hadiths in the beginning of this Surah.
