لَوْ كَانَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ءَالِهَةًۭ مَّا وَرَدُوهَا ۖ وَكُلٌّۭ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
Had these [false deities] been [actual] gods, they would not have come to it, but all are eternal therein.

Tafsir
Ibn Kathīr (abridged)
The Idolators and their gods are Fuel for Hell
Allah says to the people of Makkah, the idolators of the Quraysh and those who followed their religion of idol worship:
إِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ حَصَبُ جَهَنَّمَ
(Certainly you and that which you are worshipping now besides Allah, are (but) Hasab for Hell!). Ibn `Abbas said: "Kindling." This is like the Ayah:
وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ
(whose fuel is men and stones) 66:6. According to another report, Ibn `Abbas said:
Read it in an app that guards your attention.
Sadd blocks distracting apps around the five prayers. Every deliberate bypass costs you a written niyyah — and, if you choose, a real ṣadaqah. The Qur'ān, prayer times, qibla and tasbīḥ all work offline.
