"When he said to his father and his people, 'What do you worship?' [78]"

The tafsir of Surah Ash-Shura verse 70 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Shura ayat 69 which provides the complete commentary from verse 69 through 77.
(26:70) when he asked his father and his people: “What do you worship?”[51]
51. Obviously the object of this question was to remind the people that the deities which they worshiped were false and absolutely powerless. In Surah Al Anbiya the same question has been posed thus: What are these images to which you are so devoted. (Surah Al-Anbiya, ayat 52).
