1) Be not then in doubt as to what these men worship.
They worship nothing but what their fathers worshipped before (them): but
verily We shall pay them back (in full) their portion without (the least) abatement.
(Surah 11, Hud, Verse 109).
2) "If not Him, ye worship nothing but names
which ye have named, ye and your fathers, - for which Allah hath sent down no
authority: the command is for none but Allah. He hath commanded that ye worship
none but Him: that is the right religion, but most men
understand not... (Surah 12, Yusuf, verse 40)
3) Narrated Ibn Abbas: All the idols which were
worshipped by the people of Noah were worshipped by the Arabs later on. As for
the idol Wadd, it was worshipped by the tribe of Kalb at Daumat-al-Jandal;
Suwa' was the idol of (the tribe of) Murad and then by Ban, Ghutaif at Al-Jurf
near Saba; Yauq was the idol of Hamdan, and Nasr was the idol of Himyr, the
branch of Dhi-al-Kala.' The names (of the idols) formerly belonged to some
pious men of the people of Noah, and when they died Satan inspired their people
to prepare and place idols at the places where they used to sit, and to call
those idols by their names. The people did so, but the idols were not
worshipped till those people (who initiated them) had died and the origin of
the idols had become obscure, whereupon people began worshipping them. (Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 6, Book 60, Number 442: Book of Prophetic Commentary on the
Quran [Tafseer]) (Islambase Publications).
