(Then worship what ye will beside Him) this is a threat and rebuke to them before the Prophet (pbuh) was commanded to fight them. (Say) to them, O Muhammad: (The losers will be those who lose themselves) by missing both the life of this world and the Hereafter (and their housefolk) and servants and houses in the Garden (on the Day of Resurrection. Ah, that will be the manifest loss) losing the life of this world and the Hereafter is the manifest loss!

Al-Jalalayn Commentary
So worship whatever you wish besides Him’ other than Him — herein is a threat for them as well as a declaration of the fact that they do not worship God exalted be He. Say ‘Indeed the losers are those who will have lost their souls and their families on the Day of Resurrection by condemning their souls to abide forever in the Fire and their failure to attaining the bliss promised among the black-eyed virgins who would have been prepared for them in Paradise had they been believers. Truly that is the manifest loss!’
