The Holy Quran 24:54 — Surah An-Nur

Arabic text

قُلْ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ ۖ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيْكُم مَّا حُمِّلْتُمْ ۖ وَإِن تُطِيعُوهُ تَهْتَدُوا۟ ۚ وَمَا عَلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَّا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

Translation

Say, "Obey Allaah and obey the Rasool ﷺ." If they turn away, then the Rasool ﷺ is responsible only for what he has been entrusted with (passing on the message) and you people are responsible for what you have been entrusted with (for accepting the message). If you obey, you will be rightly guided. (This is the rule.) The Rasool ﷺ is responsible only for clear propagation.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Fulfil the responsibility of accepting the truth: that is, the burden of conveying the message has been placed on the Prophet ﷺ by Allah, and he has discharged it fully. The burden placed on you is that of affirming and accepting the truth, and of acting according to his instructions.
