Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Lo! We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture for mankind with truth. Then whosoever goeth right it is for his soul, and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only to its hurt. And thou art not a warder over them.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Verily We have revealed the Book to thee in Truth, for (instructing) mankind. He, then, that receives guidance benefits his own soul: but he that strays injures his own soul. Nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مخاطبا رسوله محمدا - صلى الله عليه وسلم - : ( إنا أنزلنا عليك الكتاب ) يعني : القرآن ( للناس بالحق ) أي : لجميع الخلق من الإنس والجن لتنذرهم به ، ( فمن اهتدى فلنفسه ) أي : فإنما يعود نفع ذلك إلى نفسه ، ( ومن ضل فإنما يضل عليها ) أي : إنما يرجع وبال ذلك على نفسه ، ( وما أنت عليهم بوكيل ) أي : بموكل أن يهتدوا ، ( إنما أنت نذير والله على كل شيء وكيل ) [ هود : 12 ] ، ( فإنما عليك البلاغ وعلينا الحساب ) [ الرعد : 40 ] .
