Hilal

Asalamualikum,
I recently purchased an incense, and it is clearly written on the product that it is made from flowers collected from temples. I even used it a few times. But today when I was reading Quran, I came across Aayat 173 of Surah Bakarah that says, "He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced, neither desiring nor transgressing, there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and merciful." So is this incense also forbidden, as it is made from temple flowers used as offerings.
