Antum waabaokumu al-aqdamoon (surah Shuara: 76)

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

(26:76) you and your elders have been worshipping ? *54

Antum wa aabaaa`ukumul aqdamoon

*54) That is, "Is it enough to say that a religion is true only because it has been held as such by their ancestors ? Should people, generation after generation, go on following their ancestors in their footsteps blindly without ever caring to see whether the deities they worship possess any divine attribute or not, and whether they have any power to influence their destinies? "
