Tafsir Ibn Katheer in English

Abridged Explanation of the Quran

If these disbelievers are told to follow the guidance and light which Allah revealed, they say, resisting stubbornly, that they will follow the beliefs and customs that their fathers followed.
Do they follow their fathers even though they understood nothing of guidance or the light, and were not guided to the truth that Allah accepts?

Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali

When it is said to them: "Follow what Allah has sent down." They say: "Nay! We shall follow what we found our fathers following." (Would they do that!) Even though their fathers did not understand anything nor were they guided?

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

And when the unbelievers are told to recognize Allah’s revelations consenting to them, they say: We only lean on our fathers system of faith and worship. But how will it be if their fathers lacked sound Judgement in choosing means and ends and miss the path of righteousness

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(2:170) When it is said to them, "Follow the Commands that Allah has sent down," they reply, "We will follow only what we found our forefathers practising. , *168 Well, will they go on following their forefathers even though they did not use common sense and did not find the right way?

And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allah has revealed," meaning

*168). The only possible argument and justification for these taboos was that they had been sanctified by the practice of their forefathers from whom they had allegedly come down generation after generation. Fickle-minded as they were, they deemed this argument to be sufficiently persuasive.

ان سے جب کہا جاتا ہے کہ اللہ نے جو احکام نازل کیے ہیں اُن کی پیروی کرو تو جواب دیتے ہیں کہ ہم تو اسی طریقے کی پیروی کریں گے جس پر ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو پایا ہے اچھا اگر ان کے باپ دادا نے عقل سے کچھ بھی کام نہ لیا ہو اور راہ راست نہ پائی ہو تو کیا پھر بھی یہ انہیں کی پیروی کیے چلے جائیں گے؟
