The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
6. 1. That is, you ﷺ have been made a Messenger for this reason and this book has been revealed for this reason so that you ﷺ may warn the people among whom no warner has come before you ﷺ, therefore, for a long time these people have been unaware of the true religion. This subject has already been mentioned in several places before, that among the Arabs, after Hazrat Ismail (عليه السلام), and before the Prophet ﷺ, no direct prophet had come. This matter has also been stated here.
