Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Musa was sent with the Message of Tawhid to Fir`awn and His ChiefsHere Allah tells us about His servant and Messenger Musa, peace be upon him, and how He sent him to Fir`awn and his chiefs. That is, his governors, ministers, leaders and followers among the Egyptians and the Children of Israel. Allah sent him to call them to worship Allah alone, with no partner or associate, and to forbid them from worshipping anything other than Him.
