    An-Nahl – 16:44

    Arabic

    بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلزُّبُرِۗ وَأَنزَلۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ ٱلذِّكۡرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَعَلَّهُمۡ

    -al-bayan:

    . I.e., this reminder has been revealed to him that he may faithfully deliver it to people and they reflect on it so that in its light they are able to understand the realities which God wants to make them understand. The words لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ occur in the verse. The word تُبَيِّنَ here is in precisely the same meaning as the word عَلَّمَ in verse 2 of Surah al-Rahman: عَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ. It does not mean “explanation and elucidation,” just as in Surah al-Rahman the word عَلَّمَ does not mean to teach and instruct in a detailed way.

    Could someone further clear this tafsir of Ghamidi sahab? If تبين is in the same meaning as علم then why wasn’t the wording of the ayah something like: لتعلم الناس?
