Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Call to Tawhid Allah says,قُلْ(Say) `O Muhammad, to these disbelievers and idolators,'إِنَّمَآ أَنَاْ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَى إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَـهُكُمْ إِلَـهٌ وَاحِدٌ(I am only a human being like you. It is revealed to me that your God is One God,) `not like these idols and false gods which you worship. Allah is one God,'فَاسْتَقِيمُواْ إِلَيْهِ(therefore take straight path to Him) means, `worship Him Alone sincerely, in accordance with what He has commanded you through His Messengers.
