Original Text Segment:

Translation and Exegesis (Based on Fakhr al-Din al-Razi's approach):

This means that your eagerness for their conversion should not lead you to turn away from the one who has accepted the faith (or is seeking guidance) in order to busy yourself with inviting those who refuse.

[The text then transitions to the next verses, setting up the contrast]:

< { But as for him who comes to you striving (or: eagerly seeking guidance) * While he fears (Allah) } >
