إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةًۭ وَٰحِدَةًۭ وَأَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُونِ
Sesungguhnya (agama Tauhid) ini adalah agama kamu semua; agama yang satu dan Aku adalah Tuhanmu, maka sembahlah Aku.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Mankind is One Ummah
إِنَّ هَـذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً
(Truly, this, your Ummah is one,) Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Qatadah and `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said, "Your religion is one religion." Al-Hasan Al-Basri said: "In this Ayah, Allah explains to them what they should avoid and what they should do." Then He said:
إِنَّ هَـذِهِ أُمَّتُكُمْ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً
(Truly, this, your Ummah is one religion,) "Meaning, your path is one path. Certainly this is your Shari`ah (Divine Law) which I have clearly explained you." So Allah says:
وَأَنَاْ رَبُّكُمْ فَاعْبُدُونِ
(and I am your Lord, therefore worship Me.) This is like the Ayah:
يأَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُواْ مِنَ الطَّيِّبَـتِ وَاعْمَلُواْ صَـلِحاً
(O (you) Messengers! Eat of the Tayyibat (good things) and do righteous deeds.) Until His saying,
وَأَنَاْ رَبُّكُمْ فَاتَّقُونِ
(And I am your Lord, so have Taqwa of Me.) 23:51-52 The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
«نَحْنُ مَعَاشِرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَوْلَادُ عَلَّاتٍ دِينُنَا وَاحِد»
(We Prophets are brothers from different mothers and our religion is one.) What is meant here is that they all worshipped Allah Alone with no partner or associate, although the Laws of each Messenger may have differed, as Allah says:
لِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مِنكُمْ شِرْعَةً وَمِنْهَـجاً
(To each among you, We have prescribed a Law and a clear way) 5:48
وَتَقَطَّعُواْ أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ
(But they have broken up and differed in their religion among themselves.) meaning, the nations were divided over their Messengers; some of them believed in them and some rejected them. Allah says:
كُلٌّ إِلَيْنَا رَجِعُونَ
((And) they all shall return to Us.) meaning, `on the Day of Resurrection, when We will requite each person according to his deeds. If they are good, then he will be rewarded and if they are evil then he will be punished.' Allah says:
فَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّـلِحَـتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ
(So whoever does righteous good deeds while he is a believer,) meaning, his heart believes and his deeds are righteous.
فَلاَ كُفْرَانَ لِسَعْيِهِ
(his efforts will not be rejected. ) This is like the Ayah:
إِنَّا لاَ نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ عَمَلاً
(certainly We shall not make the reward of anyone who does his deeds in the most perfect manner to be lost.) 18:30 which means, his efforts will not be wasted; they will be appreciated and not even a speck of dust's weight of injustice will be done. Allah says:
وَإِنَّا لَهُ كَـتِبُونَ
(Verily, We record it for him.) means, all his deeds are recorded and nothing of them at all is lost.

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Mahmud bin Ghailan] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Ahmad Az Zubairi] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] dari [Al Mughirah bin An Nu'man] dari [Sa'id bin Jubair] dari [Ibnu 'Abbas] berkata: Rasulullah Shallallahu 'alaihi wa salam bersabda: "Manusia dikumpulkan pada hari kiamat dalam kondisi tanpa alas kaki, telanjang dan belum disunat." Kemudian beliau membaca: "Sebagaimana kami telah memulai panciptaan pertama begitulah Kami akan mengulanginya. Itulah suatu janji yang pasti kami tepati." (Al-Anbiyaa`: 104) dan makhluk pertama yang diberi pakaian adalah Ibrahim dan di antara para sahabat-sahabat kami ada yang diambil dari kiki dan kanan, aku berkata: Wahai Rabb, sahabat-sahabatku. Dikatakan: Sesungguhnya engkau tidak tahu apa yang mereka buat-buat setelahmu, mereka tetap murtad sejak kau tinggalkan mereka. Lalu aku berkata seperti yang diucapkan hamba shalih: "Jika Engkau menyiksa mereka, maka sesungguhnya mereka adalah hamba-hamba Engkau, dan jika Engkau mengampuni mereka, maka sesungguhnya Engkaulah yang Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Bijaksana." (Al-Maa`idah: 118) Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Basyar] dan [Muhammad bin Al Mutsanna] keduanya berkata: telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ja'far] dari [Syu'bah] dari [Al Mughirah bin An Nu'man] dengan sanad ini lalu ia menyebut sepertinya.
