Commentary
And most of them do not follow anything in their acknowledgment of Allah except conjecture. This is because their saying is not based on proof. Indeed, conjecture in knowing Allah does not avail against the truth, which is knowledge, at all. And it is said: And most of them do not follow in their saying that the idols are gods and that they are intercessors with Allah except conjecture. The meaning of 'most' is all. Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, a warning regarding what they do of following conjecture and imitating their forefathers. And it has been recited: 'You do' with the feminine pronoun.
