Surah Ash-Shura 42:6



ﱲ ﱳ ﱴ ﱵ ﱶ ﱷ ﱸ ﱹ ﱺ ﱻ ﱼ ﱽ

And those who take as allies other than Him - Allah is [yet] Guardian over them; and you, [O Muhammad], are not over them a manager.

والذين اتخذوا من دونه أولياء

And as for those who take as protecting friends others besides Him, This refers to the idolators,

الله حفيظ عليهم

Allah is Hafiz over them. meaning, He is Witness to their deeds, recording and enumerating them precisely, and He will requite them for them in full.

وما أنت عليهم بوكيل

and you are not a trustee over them. meaning, `you are just a warner, and Allah is the Trustee of all affairs.'
