Al-Ghashiyah Verse 22

You are not ˹there˺ to compel them ˹to believe˺.

you are not assigned to compel them.

thou art not charged to oversee them.

you are not there to control them.

Thou art not over them a warden.

Thou art not one to manage (men's) affairs.

and are not invested with the authority to compel them.

You are not a warden over them,

You are not at all a guardian over them.

and not a taskmaster over them—

You are not one to dictate (faith) to them.

You are not (appointed) a keeper, stern and hard, to (compel) them.

You are not on them with dominating/controlling.

You are not at all a guardian over them.

you are not in authority over them;

You are not a dictator over them.

But whoever turns back and disbelieves,

You are not a watcher over them;

Thou art not at all a warder over them.

You do not have full control over them.

You are not charged to oversee them.

You are not a Musaytir over them.

you are not their keeper.

You have no control over them.

you are not a taskmaster over them (a variant reading [for musaytir] has musaytir, that is to say, [not one who has been] given authority over them) -- this was [revealed] before the command to struggle [against the disbelievers].

So remind them -- you are only one who reminds. You are not a Musaytir over them,

meaning, "O Muhammad! Remind the people with what you have been sent with to them."

فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَـغُ وَعَلَيْنَا الْحِسَابُ

your duty is only to convey (the Message) and on Us is the reckoning. (13;40)

Then Allah says,
لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُسَيْطِرٍ
You are not a Musaytir over them.

Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and others said,

"You are not a dictator over them."

This means that you cannot create faith in their hearts.

Ibn Zayd said,

"You are not the one who can force them to have faith."

Imam Ahmad recorded from Jabir that the Messenger of Allah said,

أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتْى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ

فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلاَّ بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَل

I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped except Allah).

So if they say that, they have safeguarded their blood and wealth from me - except for what is rightfully due from it - and their reckoning is with Allah, the Mighty and Majestic."

Then he recited,

فَذَكِّرْ إِنَّمَأ أَنتَ مُذَكِّرٌ لَّسْتَ عَلَيْهِم بِمُسَيْطِرٍ

So remind them - you are only one who reminds. You are not a dictator over them -

This is how Muslim recorded this Hadith in his Book of Faith, and At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i also recorded it in their Sunans in the Books of Tafsir.

This Hadith can be found in both of the Two Sahihs.
The Threat for Whoever turns away from the Truth

Concerning Allah's statement,

إِلاَّ مَن تَوَلَّى وَكَفَرَ
