Transliteration:( Innaa arsalnaaka bil haqqi basheeranw wa nazeeraa; wa im min ummatin illaa khalaa feehaa nazeer )
"O Beloved Prophet! Surely, We have sent you with truth as a bearer of good tidings [71] and as a warner. And for every Ummah a warner has been appointed. [72]"
The Prophet ﷺ has been sent with truth to give glad tidings of reward to the pious and to warn the evildoers of punishment.
Here, the “glad tidings” do not refer to the person of the Prophet ﷺ himself, but to the message he conveys, which is always based on truth and verification.
According to Bukhari Shareef, Prophets are from elevated lineages, and other people are made subordinate to them.
The verse affirms that every nation has received a warner—though “warner” here is used in a broad sense, which may refer to:
A Prophet,
A scholar,
A preacher,
Or anyone delivering the message of truth.
This highlights the universal principle of divine guidance across all communities.
The tafsir of Surah Fatir verse 24 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Fatir ayat 19 which provides the complete commentary from verse 19 through 26.
(35:24) We have sent you with the Truth to proclaim good news and to warn. Never has there been a nation but a warner came to it.[45]
45. That there has been no community in the world for whose guidance Allah did not appoint the Prophets. This has been stated at several places in the Quran. In (Surah Ar-Raad, Ayat 7), it was said: “Every people has its guide”. In (Surah Al-Hijr, Ayat 10): “O Prophet, We have already sent Messengers before you among many of the ancient peoples”. In (Surah An-Nahl, Ayat 36): “We sent to every community a Messenger” and in (Surah Ash-Shuara, Ayat: 208): “We have never destroyed a habitation unless it had its warners to administer admonition”. But, in this connection, one should note two things so that there remains no misunderstanding. First, one and the same Prophet is enough for the lands to which his message may reach. It is not necessary that Prophets be sent to every separate habitation and to every separate community. Second, no new Prophet needs to be sent as long as the message and teaching and guidance given by a previous Prophet remains safe and intact. It is not necessary that a separate Prophet be sent for every race and every generation.
