Do you call on Baal — this was the name of an idol of theirs which was made of gold from which the name of their city derives with the addition of the suffix bak — that is to say do you worship him and abandon the Best of Creators and not worship Him
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Will ye cry unto Baal) will you worship other deities beside Allah; it is also said that this means: will you worship a bull instead of worshipping Allah; it is also said that his people had an idol called Baal which was 30 cubits tall and had four faces (and forsake the best of Creators) and forsake the worship of the greatest of Creators, such that you do not worship him at all,
