171. The future true events in the Holy QURAN are explained in the past tense.. Because the coming of the punishment was a certainty that they should regard the torment or punishment to have befallen them.
172. There is no real truth or substance in these names, they are merely fictitious. For any ignorant Muslim to call these saints and Prophets is the foolishness of the highest kind. Since there is no proof of their creation or their existence, then there is no possibility of them being saints and prophets.
173. No Prophet has ever mentioned such creation. Likewise, no Prophet or Messenger has given a prophecy about the Hindu idols Krishna, Ramchandar, etc. Thus, there is no proof concerning these.
174. You too should await the coming of your destruction and punishment, as I am awaiting it.

The tafsir of Surah Al-A’raf verse 71 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah A’raf ayat 70 which provides the complete commentary from verse 70 through 72.
54. They looked to gods of rain and gods of wind, wealth, and health. But none of these enjoys godhead. There are many instances in our own time of people whose beliefs are no different from the ones mentioned above. There are people who are wont to call someone Mushkil Kusha, ‘the remover of distress’ or to call someone else Ganjbakhsh, ‘the bestower of treasures’. But God’s creatures cannot remove the distresses of other creatures like themselves, nor do they have any treasure that they might give away to others. Their titles are merely empty words, bereft of the qualities attributed to them. All argumentation aimed at justifying those titles amounts to a lot of sound and fury about nothing.
55. The Makkans could produce no sanction from Allah – Whom they themselves acknowledged as the Supreme God – that He had transferred to their false gods any of His power or authority. None has any authorization from God to remove distress from, or bestow treasures on, others. It is the Makkans themselves who arbitrarily chose to confer parts of God’s power on those beings.
