The Holy Quran 64:12 — Surah At-Taghabun

Arabic text

وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا ٱلْبَلَـٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

Translation

Obey Allaah and obey the Rasool ﷺ. If you turn away (from obeying them), then (be aware that) the responsibility (duty) of the Rasool ﷺ is only clear propagation. (He is not expected to force you to accept Imaan and will not be harmed by your rejection. Only you will suffer the consequences of your kufr.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Obey the command of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ: that is, in gentleness and severity, in hardship and ease — in short, in every state — obey the command of Allah and the Messenger ﷺ. If you do not, the loss will be yours alone. The Messenger ﷺ, having explained all that is good and evil, has already discharged his duty.
