11:109

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.
