Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Command to convey the Message of TawhidHere Allah commands His Messenger to convey the Message and recite the Qur'an to people. He tells him that he will be brought back to the return, which is the Day of Resurrection, where he will be asked about the prophethood he was entrusted with. So Allah says:إِنَّ الَّذِى فَرَضَ عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْءَانَ لَرَآدُّكَ إِلَى مَعَادٍ(Verily, He Who has given you the Qur'an, will surely bring you back to the return.
