The Aya proceeds:
He (Moses) proceeded: “Do I desire for you an entity worthy of worship other than Allah while He bestowed upon you (plural) blessings above all creation?!”

Once they deviate then they loose Allah’s blessings to them. This is a message and reminder to everyone who worships Allah. They are in great favor and blessing and risk loosing it if they drift away.

Inna haolai mutabbarun ma hum feehi wabatilun ma kanoo yaAAmaloona

The Aya says:
Indeed, what those are in is broken up and null is what they do.

My personal note:
The root T-B-R is the one used for the raw gold that collected broken and scattered over wide areas. It is used for something broken into smithereens and destroyed.

The Aya basically reiterates the main them of the Qur’an that any work one does with the aim is other than God is countless and eventually has no benefit for the person doing it. Therefore it ends up in spent useless effort.

Some early Muslims mentioned that the best work a person does is the most sincere and the most correct. Most sincere is where the intention is purely for Allah and most correct is when the action is most adhering to the instructions of Allah and His messengers.

The Aya says:
And We took the children of Israel across the sea, so they arrived at a people dedicated to idols of theirs. They said: O Moses, make for us idol just as they have idols. He responded: You are ignorant people.

My personal note:
The Aya may show the draw of idols or having something concrete that people want to attach to and worship whereas the constant issue with Monotheism is worshipping the God that they cannot see or touch. However, one needs to open his or her senses to feel the presence of God and how God communicates with us all the time. May Allah always protect us from falling into idol worship or falling into ignoring His presence.
