29. 1. From here, the blessings that Allah bestowed upon them are being mentioned again, and after granting these blessings, He did not hasten the punishment but gave them full respite, by which they were deceived and became slaves to their desires.

29. 2. By "the truth" is meant the Quran, and by "the Messenger" is meant Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. مُبِیْن is an attribute of the Messenger, meaning one who explains clearly; the message of his prophethood is clear and evident, there is no doubt or uncertainty in it.
