Al-Hadid • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُنَزِّلُ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦٓ ءَايَٰتٍۭ بَيِّنَٰتٍۢ لِّيُخْرِجَكُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُمْ لَرَءُوفٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ ﴾
“It is He who bestows from on high clear messages unto [this] His servant, to lead you out of the deep darkness into the light: for, behold, God is most compassionate towards you, a dispenser of grace.”
(He it is Who sendeth down clear revelations) he sends down Gabriel with clear revelations, expositing commands and prohibitions, the lawful and unlawful (unto His slave) Muhammad (pbuh) (that He may bring you forth) through the Qur'an and the call of Muhammad (pbuh) (from darkness unto light) from disbelief into faith; and it is also said that this means: He has indeed brought you forth from disbelief into faith; (and lo! for you) O believers, (Allah is Full of Pity, Merciful) for bringing you forth from disbelief into faith.
