Indeed, We sent down to you the Book for the people in truth. So whoever is guided - it is for [the benefit of] his soul; and whoever goes astray only goes astray to its detriment. And you are not a manager over them.
Tafsir
Verse range: 39:41
{For the people} For their sake and for their need of it; so that they may be given glad tidings and warned, thereby strengthening their motives to choose obedience over disobedience.
{And there is no need for that, for I am the Self-Sufficient} Whoever chooses guidance has benefited himself, and whoever chooses misguidance has harmed it.
{And you are not a guardian over them} I have not appointed you over them to force them toward guidance, for religious obligation (taklif) is built upon choice, not compulsion.
{Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die, in their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others until a specified term. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who reflect.}
