Surah Ar-Ra'd 13:40



ﲯ ﲰ ﲱ ﲲ ﲳ ﲴ ﲵ ﲶ ﲷ ﲸ ﲹ ﲺ ﲻ

And whether We show you part of what We promise them or take you in death, upon you is only the [duty of] notification, and upon Us is the account.

Punishment is by Allah, and the Messenger's Job is only to convey the Message Allah said to His Messenger,

وإن ما نرينك بعض الذي نعدهم

Whether We show you part of what We have promised them, O Muhammad, part of the disgrace and humiliation We have promised your enemies in this life,

أو نتوفينك

or cause you to die, (before that),

فٳنما عليك البﻼغ

your duty is only to convey, We have only sent you to convey to them Allah's Message, and by doing so, you will have fulfilled the mission that was ordained on you,

وعلينا الحساب

and on Us is the reckoning, their reckoning and recompense is on Us.' Allah said in similar Ayat,

فذكر إنما أنت مذكر

لست عليهم بمسيطر

إﻻ من تولى وكفر

فيعذبه الله العذاب اﻻكبر

إن إلينا إيابهم

ثم إن علينا حسابهم

So remind them - you are only one who reminds. You are not a dictator over them - Save the one who turns away and disbelieves. Then Allah will punish him with the greatest punishment. Verily, to Us will be their return, Then verily, for Us will be their reckoning. (88:21-26) Allah said next,
