Surah Taghabun ayat 12 Tafsir Quran 64:12

﴿وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَىٰ رَسُولِنَا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ﴾
[ التغابن: 12]

64:12 And obey Allah and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away - then upon Our Messenger is only [the duty of] clear notification.

And obey God and obey the Messenger; but if you turn away then the Messenger’s duty is only to communicate the Message clearly.

You people had better obey Allah and His Messenger, and if you should turn a deaf ear and turn aside from the path of righteousness and direct your actions and thoughts away from it, then be it remembered that Our Messenger is entrusted only with relating the message and the elucidation of its text

All that occurs to Mankind is by Allah's Permission Allah informs us as He did in Surat Al-Hadid, مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ فِى الاٌّرْضِ وَلاَ فِى أَنفُسِكُمْ إِلاَّ فِى كِتَـبٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّبْرَأَهَآ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ ( No calamity occurs on the earth or in yourselves but it is inscribed in a record before We bring it into existence.
Verily, that is easy for Allah. ) ( 57:22 ) Allah said here, مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ( No calamity occurs, but by the permission of Allah, ) Ibn `Abbas said; "By the command of Allah," meaning from His decree and will. وَمَن يُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ( and whosoever believes in Allah, He guides his heart.
And Allah is the All-Knower of everything. ) meaning, whoever suffered an affliction and he knew that it occurred by Allah's judgement and decree, and he patiently abides, awaiting Allah's reward, then Allah guides his heart, and will compensate him for his loss in this life by granting guidance to his heart and certainty in faith.
Allah will replace whatever he lost for Him with the same or what is better.
`Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas, وَمَن يُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ ( and whosoever believes in Allah, He guides his heart. ) "Allah will guide his heart to certainty.
Therefore, he will know that what reached him would not have missed him and what has missed him would not have reached him." There is an agreed upon Hadith that Al-Bukhari and Muslim collected and which states,
«عَجَبًا لِلْمُؤْمِنِ لَا يَقْضِي اللهُ لَهُ قَضَاءً إِلَّا كَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ، إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ، وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا لِلْمُؤْمِن»
( Amazing is the believer: There is no decree that Allah writes for him, but is better for him.
If an affliction strikes him, he is patient and this is better for him.
If a bounty is granted to him, he is thankful and this is better for him.
This trait is only for the faithful believer. ) The Order to obey Allah and His Messenger Allah said, وَأَطِيعُواْ اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ الرَّسُولَ ( Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger; ) Allah commands obedience to Him and to His Messenger in all that His legislates and in implementing His orders.
Allah also forbids one from all that His Messenger forbids and prohibits.
Allah the Exalted said, فَإِن تَولَّيْتُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِنَا الْبَلَـغُ الْمُبِينُ ( but if you turn away, then the duty of Our Messenger is only to convey clearly. ) meaning, `if you refrain from abiding by the faith, then the Messenger's mission is to convey and your mission is to hear and obey.
'Az-Zuhri said, "From Allah comes the Message, its deliverance is up to the Messenger, and the adherence is up to us." Tawhid Allah states that He is the One, Whom all creations need and seek, the One other than Whom there is no ( true ) God. اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ( Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa.
And in Allah therefore let the believers put their trust. ) So, He first informs about Tawhid and its meaning.
The implied meaning is to single Him out for deifica- tion, being purely devoted to Him, and relying upon Him, as He said; رَّبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ فَاتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلاً ( The Lord of the east and the west; La ilaha illa Huwa.
So take Him alone as Trustee. ) ( 73:9 )

(64:12) Obey Allah and obey the Messenger. But if you turn away from obedience, (then know that) Our Messenger has no other duty than to clearly convey the Truth. *27

And obey Allah and obey the Messenger; meaning

*27) In view of the context, it means: " Whatever the circumstances.
good or bad.
you should remain steadfast to obedience to Allah and His Messenger.
But if under the pressure of hardships you turned away from obedience, you would only harm your own selves.
The only responsibility of Our Messenger was to guide you to the right path, which the Messenger has fulfilled in the best way possible.
"

( Obey Allah ) with regard to His obligations ( and obey His messenger ) with regard to his practices; it is also said this means: obey Allah regarding Allah’s divine Oneness and obey His Messenger by accepting his message; ( but if ye turn away ) from their obedience, ( then the duty of Our messenger ) Muhammad ( pbuh ) ( is only to convey (the message )) on behalf of Allah ( plainly ) i.e. in a language that you understand.

Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), but if you turn away, then the duty of Our Messenger is only to convey (the Message) clearly.
