Transliteration:( Huwal lazee arsala Rasoolahoo bilhudaa wa deenil haqqi liyuzhirahoo 'alad deeni kullihee wa law karihal mushrikoon )
It is He Who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the true religion, that He may cause it to dominate over all the religions, even though the polytheists may hate it. (Kanzul Imaan)
The Holy Prophet ﷺ is the true Light of Allah, a Light that no one can extinguish. Just as Allah Almighty created the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies whose light cannot be extinguished, similarly, the Light of the Prophet ﷺ is beyond the capacity of anyone to diminish.
The Holy Prophet ﷺ is the highest means of obtaining the mystical knowledge of Allah. To understand Allah, one must seek the Prophet ﷺ, who was sent by Allah to provide guidance. The phrase "It is He Who" signifies Allah's supreme status as the One who sent such a Messenger of great honor.
The guidance and true religion, represented by the Prophet ﷺ, are inseparable. They have always been with him, even before his prophethood. The preposition "BIL-HUDA" indicates that guidance is an intrinsic part of the Prophet ﷺ, and cannot be separated from him.
Islam will remain the dominant religion until the Day of Judgement, regardless of temporary setbacks Muslims may face. Even if Muslims are subdued at certain times or in specific places, the message of Islam will ultimately prevail.
The Holy Qur'an is superior to the Tauraat, Injeel, and all other religious scriptures. The message of the Holy Prophet ﷺ surpasses the publicity and influence of any other religious leader.
The honor and dignity of the Holy Prophet ﷺ surpass all religious leaders, and the mosques associated with him are more revered than the churches, temples, or any other places of worship.
The religious ordinances given by the Holy Prophet ﷺ are of higher authority and importance than the religious laws of any other faith. May Allah Almighty preserve these ordinances eternally. This is evident in the world every day.
The tafsir of Surah As-Saff verse 9 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Saff ayat 7 which provides the complete commentary from verse 7 through 9.
(61:9) He it is Who has sent forth the Messenger with the Guidance and the True Religion that He may make it prevail over all religion, however those that associate aught with Allah in His Divinity might dislike this.[13]
13. The idolaters: The mushriks, those who combine the service of others with the service of Allah and mix other religions in the religion of Allah. Those who are not prepared to see that the entire system of lift is established on the obedience and guidance of One God. Those who insist that they will worship any deity they like and base their their beliefs and morals and civilization on any philosophy and doctrine they please. As against the ways of such people, it is being said that the Messenger of Allah has not been sent to make a compromise with than, but with the object that he should cause the guidance and religion of truth which he has brought from Allah to prevail over all religions, i.e. every aspect of the way of life. This mission he has to accomplish in any case whether the disbelievers and polytheists like it or not, and whoever they support it or resist it. This declaration has been made in the Quran at two other places. In (Surah At-Taubah, Ayat 33)and (Surah Al-Fath, Ayat 28). Here it has been re-iterated for the third time. For further explanation, see (Surah At-Taubah, ayat 33) note 32, and (Surah Al-Fath, ayat 28) note 51.
