In this case, it would mean that Allah will inform the Messenger about all the matters of religion that he needs as a Messenger, including beliefs, etiquette, governance, and rulings. This is because Muhammad, œ, was sent with the final religion, after which humanity does not require any further guidance in matters of faith.” (Tafsir al-Manar, Vol. 10, p. 339) The second opinion is that the pronoun (hu) refers to the religion of truth with which the Messenger, was sent. Its meaning would then be that Allah will exalt this religion and elevate its status above all other religions (Tafsir al-Manar, Vol. 10, p. 340).

Its meaning is that Allah will exalt this religion above all other religions and enhance its honor. Commentator al-Razi writes: “Most commentators believe that the pronoun (hu) in the phrase li-yuzhirahu (‘to make it prevail’) refers to the Messenger.
