Sura 29
Aya 25
25
وَقالَ إِنَّمَا اتَّخَذتُم مِن دونِ اللَّهِ أَوثانًا مَوَدَّةَ بَينِكُم فِي الحَياةِ الدُّنيا ۖ ثُمَّ يَومَ القِيامَةِ يَكفُرُ بَعضُكُم بِبَعضٍ وَيَلعَنُ بَعضُكُم بَعضًا وَمَأواكُمُ النّارُ وَما لَكُم مِن ناصِرينَ

Muhammad Asad

And [Abraham] said: "You have chosen to worship idols instead of God for no other reason than to have a bond of love,1 in the life of this world, between yourselves [and your forebears]:2 but then, on Resurrection Day, you shall disown one another and curse one another - for the goal of you all will be the fire, and you will have none to succour you.
  • Lit., "solely out of love".
  • Thus Razi. explaining this idol-worship as a result of a mere blind imitation (taqlid) of attitudes inherited from past generations.
