Tafseer of Al-An'am : 19
Saheeh International
Say, "What thing is greatest in testimony?" Say, " Allah is witness between me and you. And this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches. Do you [truly] testify that with Allah there are other deities?" Say, "I will not testify [with you]." Say, "Indeed, He is but one God, and indeed, I am free of what you associate [with Him]."
Ibn Kathir
Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)
قُلْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَكْبَرُ شَهَادةً
Say:"What thing is the most great in witness!"
or what is the greatest witness,
قُلِ اللّهِ شَهِيدٌ بِيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ
Say:"Allah (the Most Great!) is Witness between you and I."
for He knows what I brought you and what you will answer me with,
وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الْقُرْانُ لاُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ
this Qur'an has been revealed to me that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach.
Therefore, this Qur'an is a warner for all those who hear of it.
In another Ayah, Allah said,
وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الاٌّحْزَابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُ
But those of the sects that reject it, the Fire will be their promised meeting place. (11:17)
Ar-Rabi bin Anas said,
"Those who follow the Messenger of Allah ought to call to what the Messenger of Allah called to and warn against what he warned against."
Allah said next,
أَيِنَّكُمْ لَتَشْهَدُونَ
"Can you verily bear witness..." (O idolators),
أَنَّ مَعَ اللّهِ الِهَةً أُخْرَى قُل لاَّ أَشْهَدُ
"that besides Allah there are other gods!" Say, "I bear no (such) witness!"
Similarly, in another Ayah, Allah said;
فَإِن شَهِدُواْ فَلَ تَشْهَدْ مَعَهُمْ
Then if they testify, testify not you with them. (6:150)
Allah said next,
قُلْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَـهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَإِنَّنِي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ
Say:"Only He is God, alone, and truly I am innocent of what you join in worship with Him."
People of the Book Recognize the Prophet Just as They Recognize Their Own Children
