هَٰذَا بَلَٰغٞ لِّلنَّاسِ وَلِيُنذَرُواْ بِهِۦ وَلِيَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞ وَلِيَذَّكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ

This is a delivery for the people, and (it is delivered) so that they may be warned by means of it, and that they may know that He is one God, and that those with understanding may take heed.

Quoted Scripture

"52. This (Qur'an) is a Message for mankind (and a clear proof against them), in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is the only One God and that men of understanding may take heed."

Allah states that this Qur'an is a Message for mankind,

{(So) that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach.} [6:19]

This Qur'an is for all mankind and the Jinns, just as Allah said in the beginning of this Surah,

{Alif-Lam-Ra. (This is) a Book which We have revealed unto you in order that you might lead mankind out of darkness into light.} [14:1]

Allah said next,

{in order that they may be warned thereby}, or to receive and draw lessons from it,

{and that they may know that He is the only One God} using its proofs and evidences that testify that there is no true deity except Allah,

{and that men of understanding may take heed.} meaning those who have good minds.

This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Ibrahim, and all praise is due to Allah.

About this Source & Scholarly Authority (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Universal Sunni Consensus: Tafsir al-Qur'an al-Azim by Hafiz Ibn Kathir (701–774 AH / 1301–1373 AD) is universally regarded across all major schools of Sunni Islam (traditional, Salafi, Ash'ari) as the most authoritative classical exegesis. It is prized because it relies on Tafsir bil-Ma'thur—interpreting the Quran using the Quran itself, authentic Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad, and recorded statements of the early Companions (Sahabah).

Standard English Edition: This text is from the standard 10-volume English abridgment published by Dar-us-Salam Publications (supervised by Shaykh Safiur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri), which is the official, most widely distributed English Quranic commentary in mosques and Islamic libraries worldwide today.
