57 Preface وَتَاللَّهِ لَأَكيدَنَّ أَصنامَكُم بَعدَ أَن تُوَلّوا مُدبِرينَYusuf Ali“And by God, I have a plan for your idols - after ye go away and turn your backs”...###1He wants to convince them of the powerlessness of their idols. But he does not do it underhandedly. He tells them that he is going to do something when once they are gone and their backs are turned to the idols?as much as to say that the idols are dependent on their care and attention. Apparently the people are amused and want to see what he does. So they leave him to his own devices.
