Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Nor did We send a Messenger before you O Muhammad but We inspired him with the truth clearly indicating that there is no Ilah but I the Creator, therefore worship Me and adore Me with appropriate acts and rites and regard Me with extreme devotion
Quran 21:25 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
أَمِ اتَّخَذُواْ مِن دُونِهِ ءَالِهَةً قُلْ
( Or have they taken for worship gods besides Him Say: ) -- O Muhammad --
هَاتُواْ بُرْهَـنَكُمْ
( Bring your proof. ) your evidence for what you are saying.
هَـذَا ذِكْرُ مَن مَّعِىَ
( This is the Reminder for those with me ) means, the Qur'an.
وَذِكْرُ مَن قَبْلِى
( and the Reminder for those before me ) means, the previous Books, unlike what you claim.
Each Book was revealed to each Prophet who was sent with the message that there is no god except Allah, but you idolators do not recognize the truth, so you turn away from it.
Allah says:
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلاَّ نُوحِى إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ أَنَاْ فَاعْبُدُونِ
( And We did not send any Messenger before you but We revealed to him (saying ): "There is no god but I.
..") This is like the Ayat:
وَاسْئلْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَآ أَجَعَلْنَا مِن دُونِ الرَّحْمَـنِ ءَالِهَةً يُعْبَدُونَ
( And ask those of Our Messengers whom We sent before you: "Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Most Gracious" ) 43:45
وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ اعْبُدُواْ اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُواْ الْطَّـغُوتَ
( And verily, We have sent among every Ummah a Messenger (proclaiming ): "Worship Allah, and avoid Taghut ( all false deities ).") 16:36 Every Prophet who was sent by Allah called people to worship Allah Alone, with no partner or associate.
The natural inclination of man ( Al-Fitrah ) also bears witness to that.
The idolators have no proof and their dispute is of no use before their Lord; on them is wrath, and for them will be a severe torment.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( And We sent no messenger before you ) O Muhammad ( but We inspired him ) tell your people that they should say: ( There is no God save Me (Allah ), so worship Me) so declare My divine Oneness.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad SAW) but We inspired him (saying): La ilaha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)."
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
