قُلْ Say یٰۤاَیُّهَا O (mankind) النَّاسُ (O) mankind اِنْ If كُنْتُمْ you are فِیْ in شَكٍّ doubt مِّنْ of دِیْنِیْ my religion فَلَاۤ then not اَعْبُدُ I worship الَّذِیْنَ those whom تَعْبُدُوْنَ you worship مِنْ besides Allah دُوْنِ besides Allah اللّٰهِ besides Allah وَ لٰكِنْ but اَعْبُدُ I worship اللّٰهَ Allah الَّذِیْ the One Who یَتَوَفّٰىكُمْ ۖۚ causes you to die وَ اُمِرْتُ And I am commanded اَنْ that اَكُوْنَ I be مِنَ of الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَۙ the believers وَ اَنْ And that اَقِمْ Direct وَجْهَكَ your face لِلدِّیْنِ to the religion حَنِیْفًا ۚ upright وَ لَا and (do) not تَكُوْنَنَّ be مِنَ of الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ the polytheists وَ لَا And (do) not تَدْعُ invoke مِنْ besides Allah دُوْنِ besides Allah اللّٰهِ besides Allah مَا what لَا (will) not یَنْفَعُكَ benefit you وَ لَا and not یَضُرُّكَ ۚ harm you فَاِنْ But if فَعَلْتَ you did so فَاِنَّكَ indeed, you اِذًا then (will be) مِّنَ of الظّٰلِمِیْنَ the wrongdoers 10. Yunus Page 221 وَ اِنْ And if یَّمْسَسْكَ Allah touches you اللّٰهُ Allah touches you بِضُرٍّ with adversity فَلَا (there is) no كَاشِفَ remover لَهٗۤ of it اِلَّا except هُوَ ۚ Him وَ اِنْ and if یُّرِدْكَ He intends for you بِخَیْرٍ any good فَلَا then (there is) no رَآدَّ repeller لِفَضْلِهٖ ؕ (of) His Bounty یُصِیْبُ He causes it to reach بِهٖ He causes it to reach مَنْ whom یَّشَآءُ He wills مِنْ of عِبَادِهٖ ؕ His slaves وَ هُوَ And He الْغَفُوْرُ (is) the Oft-Forgiving الرَّحِیْمُ the Most Merciful قُلْ Say یٰۤاَیُّهَا O mankind النَّاسُ O mankind قَدْ Verily جَآءَكُمُ has come to you الْحَقُّ the truth مِنْ from رَّبِّكُمْ ۚ your Lord فَمَنِ So whoever اهْتَدٰی (is) guided فَاِنَّمَا then only یَهْتَدِیْ (he is) guided لِنَفْسِهٖ ۚ for his soul وَ مَنْ and whoever ضَلَّ goes astray فَاِنَّمَا then only یَضِلُّ he strays عَلَیْهَا ۚ against it وَ مَاۤ And I am not اَنَا And I am not عَلَیْكُمْ over you بِوَكِیْلٍؕ a guardian وَ اتَّبِعْ And follow مَا what یُوْحٰۤی is revealed اِلَیْكَ to you وَ اصْبِرْ and be patient حَتّٰی until یَحْكُمَ Allah gives judgment اللّٰهُ ۖۚ Allah gives judgment وَ هُوَ And He خَیْرُ (is) the Best الْحٰكِمِیْنَ۠ (of) the Judges
104. Say: “O people! If you are in doubt of my religion, then (know that) I do not worship those whom you worship instead of Allah,153 but I worship Allah who causes you to die,154 and I have been commanded to be of the believers.155
105. And set your attention to the religion upright156 and do not be of the polytheists.
106. And do not invoke,157 beside Allah, anyone who can neither profit you nor harm you. If you do that, then surely you are of the wrong-doers.”158
107. If Allah inflicts you with a misfortune, none can remove it but He, and if He bestows on you a favour, none can withhold His bounty. He bestows His favours on anybody among His Slaves He will. He is the oft Forgiver, the Most Merciful.159
108. Say: “O mankind! The Truth has come to you from your Lord. Then whoever follows this guidance follows it to his own advantage, and whoever goes astray does so at his own cost. And I am not over you as a (wakeel) keeper.”160
109. And (O Messenger!) Follow the revelation that is sent down to you, and have patience till Allah delivers His judgment.161 And He is the best of Judges.
153. Here the Prophet has been commanded to present his dawah and express his stand relating to religion in clear terms and openly. This command is as much for the Prophet’s followers as it is for the Prophet himself. Therefore. a Muslim must express his religious stand and policy unambiguously and unhesitatingly. To present one’s faith in false colours to please the people of other religions, to hesitate to present pure monotheism for fear of dislike of polytheists, and to be unduly tolerant with the polytheistic customs are practices that are against the direction given in this ayah.
154. That is: I worship only that God who takes away your life. In this statement is hidden the argument in support of Allah’s being the one and only worship-worthy Being. When it is an undeniable fact that death is not within the power of anybody except Allah, then how anybody can be god, worthy of worship.
155. The point in making the Prophet say these words is to show that the Prophet’s being a faithful and his being among the believers is in obedience of the Divine command. Therefore, the idea that the Prophet himself of his own accord, started the dispute of belief and disbelief and divided mankind into two groups and two sects of believers and non-believers is wrong.
156. That is: Keep your attention riveted to Islam, concentrate on following it, leaving aside other faiths, there should be not even the slightest leaning towards any other faith or faithlessness, and let there be not even the minutest impurity of polytheism in your belief and acts.
157. Invoking means calling for fulfilling the needs as in prayer or to call for help or to appeal for aid (as a matter of belief). To invoke or call someone, whether it may be an idol or a grave, or a jinn, or a prophet, or a Saint, for fulfilling one’s needs, thinking him to be having some say or control in the functioning of this universe and provision of sustenance, etc, and that he can hear the call in absence and comes to the help, is a polytheistic practice of the first degree, whether it may be committed by a non-Muslim or a Muslim.
158. These harsh words have been spoken, addressing the Prophet, to make it clear that the firm stand taken by the Prophet against polytheism is quite in accordance with the directives given by God, and in The Law of Allah one who commits polytheism is a wrong-doer however big a personage he may be The purpose of addressing the Prophet to state this fact is to make clear this point of principle.
159. He is the Forgiver, so seek forgiveness from Him alone. And He is Merciful, so pray for mercy from Him alone.
160. That is: I have not been made responsible to force you to follow the right path.
161. And a little after this the judgment of Allah was delivered. Accordingly, the roots of polytheism were cut down by the Prophet, and the standard of monotheism was raised high falsehood was defeated and truth came out glorious. If even by this historic judgment which is the clear1 proof of the truth of the Prophet’s message the nations of the world do not want to learn their lesson, then they should wait for that Divine judgment which will be delivered on the Day of Resurrection.
