The Holy Quran 39:41 — Surah Az-Zumar

Arabic text

إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ لِلنَّاسِ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَلِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ

Translation

Without doubt, We have revealed to you (O Rasulullaah ﷺ) a Book (the Qur'aan) with the truth for the people. Whoever is rightly guided, is guided for his own benefit, and whoever is misguided, then it is to his own detriment (own loss). You (O Rasulullaah ﷺ) have not been sent as a warder (one responsible) over them (you cannot force anyone to accept Imaan and will not be questioned if any of them reject your message).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Man’s benefit and harm are clear: that is, by your tongue, through this Book, the true word of admonition has been spoken and the path of religion has been shown precisely. From here on, let every person consider his own benefit and harm: if he follows the admonition, it is for his own good; otherwise he will ruin his own outcome.
