يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَكُم بُرْهَـٰنٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَأَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ نُورًا مُّبِينًا

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مخاطبا جميع الناس ومخبرا بأنه قد جاءهم منه برهان عظيم ، وهو الدليل القاطع للعذر ، والحجة المزيلة للشبهة ; ولهذا قال : ( وأنزلنا إليكم نورا مبينا ) أي : ضياء واضحا على الحق ، قال ابن جريج وغيره : وهو القرآن .
