Surah Al-Anaam, Verse 19 and 20

﷽

*Surah Al-Anaam, Verse 19:*

قُلْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَكْبَرُ شَهَادَةً قُلِ اللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنُ لِأُنذِرَكُم بِهِ وَمَن بَلَغَ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ مَعَ اللَّهِ آلِهَةً أُخْرَىٰ قُل لَّا أَشْهَدُ قُلْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَإِنَّنِي بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تُشْرِكُونَ

Say (O Muhammad [Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him]): "What thing is the most great in witness?" Say: "Allah (the Most Great!) is Witness between me and you; this Qur-ān has been revealed to me that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach. Can you verily bear witness that besides Allah there are other aliha (gods)?" Say "I bear no (such) witness!" Say: "But in truth He (Allah) is the only one ilah (God). And truly I am innocent of what you join in worship with Him."

﷽

*Surah Al-Anaam, Verse 20:*

الَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمُ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Those to whom We have given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognize him (i.e. Muhammad [Blessings and Peace of Allāh be upon him] as a Messenger of Allah, and they also know that there is no ilah (God) but Allah and Islam is Allah's Religion), as they recognize their own sons. Those who destroy themselves will not believe. (Tafsir At-Tabari)

#COMMENTARY

In both passages the pronoun translated "this" may mean "him" and refer to Prophet Muhammad, the Messenger of Allāh, as some commentators think.
