فَلاَ تَكُ فِي مِرْيَةٍ
مِّمَّا يَعْبُدُ هَـٰؤُلاۤءِ مَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلاَّ كَمَا يَعْبُدُ آبَاؤُهُم
مِّن قَبْلُ وَإِنَّا لَمُوَفُّوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ غَيْرَ مَنقُوصٍ
Falaa
taku fee miryatim mimmmaa ya'budu haaa'ulaaa'; maa ya'budoona illaa kamaa
ya'budu aabaaa'uhum min qabl; wa innaa lamuwaffoohum naseebahum ghaira manqoos
The
Aya says:
So
do not be in argumentation/ skepticism related to what those worship. They worship only as their ancestors worshipped
before. And We are rendering them their
share undiminished.
My
personal note:
The
Aya gives the prophet upon him be peace not to worry too much about the
worshipping of his people. That it is
following custom but cannot challenge him and that each will meet their dues.
