Commentary:
The verse refers to a stock argument of the deniers of all enlightened and progressive ideas. They find it convenient to take refuge behind the foolish plea that their forefathers were not less wise and therefore they would not depart from the precedent set by them. The habit of unthinkingly and thoughtlessly sticking to old ideas and practices has proved the spiritual undoing of many a people.

And thus has it always been that We never sent any Warner before thee to any township but the evil leaders thereof said: ‘We found our fathers following a certain course, and we are following in their footsteps.’

اور اسی طرح ہم نے کبھی تجھ سے پہلے کسی بستی میں کوئی ڈرانے والا نہیں بھیجا مگر اسکے خوشحال لوگوں نے کہا کہ یقیناً ہم نے اپنے آباءو اجداد کو ایک خاص مسلک پر پایا اور یقیناً ہم انہی کے نقوشِ قدم پر چلنے والے ہیں۔

Commentary:
The hackneyed plea of idolaters to support idol worship has always been that it was a time-honoured practice observed by their forefathers. In fact, old ideas and customs die hard. They have always proved a stumbling block in the way of disbelievers to accept the Divine Message. For the meaning of the word أمة see 6:39 and 16:121.

And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following."
