Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Explaining the Truth Through the Messenger and the Qur'anAllah states that He sent His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ with the guidance and the religion of truth to all the people of the earth, the Arabs and non-Arabs, lettered and unlettered. Allah also states that He sent Muhammad with clear evidences and the distinction between truth and falsehood.
