Tafsir Ibn Kathir on Yunus 10:105

Surah Yunus 10:105



ﳁ ﳂ ﳃ ﳄ ﳅ ﳆ ﳇ ﳈ ﳉ

And [commanded], 'Direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth, and never be of those who associate others with Allah;

وأن أقم وجهك للدين حنيفا

And that you direct your face towards the Hanif religion, This means to make one's intention in worship solely for Allah alone, being a Hanif. Hanif means one who turns away from associating partners with Allah. For this reason Allah says,

وﻻ تكونن من المشركين

and not be one of the idolators. This statement is directly connected with the previous statement,

وأمرت أن أكون من المومنين

(And I was commanded to be one of the believers)
