27 Tafseer Ibn Kathir
None is to be worshipped except Allah
Allah tells;
إِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ
Your god is one God.
Allah tells that there is none to be worshipped besides Him, the One, the Unique, the Lone, the Self-Sufficient.
And when Allah alone is mentioned, the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter are filled with disgust, and when those besides Him are mentioned, behold, they rejoice! (39;45)
وَهُم مُّسْتَكْبِرُونَ
and they are proud.
meaning they are too proud to worship Allah, and their hearts reject the idea of singling Him out, as Allah says;
Verily! Those who scorn My worship they will surely enter Hell in humiliation! (40;60)
So here, Allah says
28 Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
In point of fact, things all around point clearly to you people that your Ilah is absolutely One Eternal Ilah. Those who deny Him simply close their hearts' ears and their minds' eyes and exercise inordinate self esteem and pride got the better of their prudence
