Surah Yunus · سُوْرَةُ يُوْنُسَ · Juz 11

Q 10:108

قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ قَدْ جَآءَكُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۖ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍ

Translations

Say, "O mankind, the truth has come to you from your Lord, so whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] his soul, and whoever goes astray only goes astray [in violation] against it. And I am not over you a manager."

Sahih International · EN

Dis: «O gens! Certes la vérité vous est venue de votre Seigneur. Donc, quiconque est dans le bon chemin ne l'est que pour lui-même; et quiconque s'égare, ne s'égare qu'à son propre détriment. Je ne suis nullement un protecteur pour vous.

Tafsir

Say, O Messenger: O people, the Qur’ān has come to you as a revelation from your Lord. Whoever follows the right path and has faith in it, the benefit of that will return to him, because Allah is in no need of the obedience of His servants. Yet whoever strays, the effect of his straying will only harm him, because Allah is not affected by the disobedience of His servants. I am not a guardian over you, to watch over your actions and to take you to account for them.

Read Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abridged, English))

Say: "O people! Now the truth has come to you from your Lord. So whoever receives guidance, he does so for the good of himself. And whoever goes astray, he does so at his own loss. And I am not set over you as a guardian (108)And follow what is revealed to you, and be patient until Allah gives judgment. And He is the best of the judges (109) Allah, the Exalted, commands His Messenger ﷺ to inform the people that that which he has brought them from Allah is the truth. It is a message concerning which there is no doubt or suspicion. Therefore, whoever is guided by it and follows it, then he only benefits himself by doing so. Likewise, whoever is misguided away from this message, then he will suffer the consequences against his own self. وَمَا أَنَا عَلَيْكُم بِوَكِيلٍ (And I am not set over you as a guardian) This means, 'I am not a guardian over you in order for you to become believers. I am only a warner to you and guidance belongs to Allah, the Exalted.' Concerning Allah's statement, وَاتَّبِعْ مَا يُوحَىٰ إِلَيْكَ وَاصْبِرْ (And follow what has been revealed to you, and be patient) This means, 'Adhere to that which Allah has revealed to you, and inspired you with, and be patient with the opposition that you meet from the people.' حَتَّىٰ يَحْكُمَ اللَّهُ (until Allah gives judgment) This means, 'Until Allah judges between you and them.' وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ (And He is the best of judges.) This means that He is the best of those who pass judgment, due to His Justice and His wisdom.
