Surah Saba ayat 25 Tafsir Quran 34:25

﴿قُل لَّا تُسْأَلُونَ عَمَّا أَجْرَمْنَا وَلَا نُسْأَلُ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ﴾
[ سبأ: 25]

34:25 Say, "You will not be asked about what we committed, and we will not be asked about what you do."

Say ‘You will not be questioned about the sins we committed nor shall we be questioned about what you do’ for we are quit of you.

And say to them: You shall never have to answer for our wrongs and our misgivings nor shall we have to answer for your deeds

Allah has no partner in anything whatsoever Allah tells us that He is unique in His power of creation and His giving of provision, and that He is unique in His divinity also.
As they used to admit that no one in heaven or on earth except Allah gave them provision, i.e., by sending down water and causing crops to grow, so they should also realize that there is no god worthy of worship besides Him. وَإِنَّآ أَوْ إِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلَى هُدًى أَوْ فِى ضَلَـلٍ مُّبِينٍ ( And verily, (either ) we or you are rightly guided or in plain error.) `One of the two sides must be speaking falsehood, and one must be telling the truth.
There is no way that you and we could both be following true guidance, or could both be misguided.
Only one of us can be correct, and we have produced the proof of Tawhid which indicates that your Shirk must be false.' Allah says: وَإِنَّآ أَوْ إِيَّاكُمْ لَعَلَى هُدًى أَوْ فِى ضَلَـلٍ مُّبِينٍ ( And verily, (either ) we or you are rightly guided or in plain error.) Qatadah said, "The Companions of Muhammad ﷺ said this to the idolators: `By Allah, we and you cannot be following the same thing, only one of us can be truly guided."' `Ikrimah and Ziyad bin Abi Maryam said, "It means: we are rightly guided and you are in plain error." قُل لاَّ تُسْـَلُونَ عَمَّآ أَجْرَمْنَا وَلاَ نُسْـَلُ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ( Say: "You will not be asked about our sins, nor shall we be asked of what you do." ) This indicates disowning them, saying, `you do not belong to us and we do not belong to you, because we call people to Allah, to believe that He is the Only God and to worship Him alone.
If you respond, then you will belong to us and we to you, but if you reject our call, then we have nothing to do with you and you have nothing to do with us.' This is like the Ayat: وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّى عَمَلِى وَلَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْ أَنتُمْ بَرِيئُونَ مِمَّآ أَعْمَلُ وَأَنَاْ بَرِىءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ( And if they deny you, say: "For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds! You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!" ) ( 10:41 ) قُلْ يأَيُّهَا الْكَـفِرُونَ - لاَ أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ - وَلاَ أَنتُمْ عَـبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ - وَلاَ أَنَآ عَابِدٌ مَّا عَبَدتُّمْ وَلاَ أَنتُمْ عَـبِدُونَ مَآ أَعْبُدُ لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِىَ دِينِ ( Say: "O disbelievers! I worship not that which you worship, Nor will you worship that which I worship.
And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping.
Nor will you worship that which I worship.
To you be your religion, and to me my religion." ) ( 104:1-6 ). قُلْ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَنَا رَبُّنَا ( Say: "Our Lord will assemble us all together..." ) means, `on the Day of Resurrection, He will bring all of creation together in one arena, then He will judge between us with truth, i.e., with justice.' Each person will be rewarded or punished according to his deeds; if they are good, then his end will be good, and if they are bad, then his end will be bad.
On that Day they will know who has attained victory, glory and eternal happiness, as Allah says: U وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ - فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ فَهُمْ فِى رَوْضَةٍ يُحْبَرُونَ - وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَكَذَّبُواْ بِـَايَـتِنَا وَلِقَآءِ الاَّخِرَةِ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ فِى الْعَذَابِ مُحْضَرُونَ ( And on the Day when the Hour will be established -- that Day shall (all men ) be separated.
Then as for those who believed and did righteous good deeds, such shall be honored and made to enjoy luxurious life ( forever ) in a Garden of Delight.
And as for those who disbelieved and denied Our Ayat, and the meeting of the Hereafter, such shall be brought forth to the torment.) ( 30:14-16 ).
Allah says: وَهُوَ الْفَتَّاحُ الْعَلِيمُ ( And He is the Just Judge, the All-Knower of the true state of affairs. ) قُلْ أَرُونِىَ الَّذيِنَ أَلْحَقْتُمْ بِهِ شُرَكَآءَ ( Say: "Show me those whom you have joined with Him as partners..." ) means, `show me those gods whom you made as rivals and equals to Allah.' كَلاَّ Nay means, He has no peer, rival, partner or equal.
Allah says: بَلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ But He is Allah, meaning, the One and Only God Who has no partner. العَزِيزُ الحَكِيمُ the Almighty, the All-Wise.
means, the Owner of might with which He subjugates and controls all things, the One Who is Wise in all His Words and deeds, Laws and decrees.
Blessed and exalted and sanctified be He far above all that they say.
And Allah knows best. وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَـكَ إِلاَّ كَآفَّةً لِّلنَّاسِ بَشِيراً وَنَذِيراً وَلَـكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ

(34:25) Tell them: 'You will not be called to account about the guilt we committed, nor will we be called to account for what you did.' *44

Say, "You will not be asked about meaning

*44) The about question had already made the listeners to think seriously, This additional sentence was meant to make them think even more seriously, as if to say, `It is in our own interest individually that we should consider and decide the question of guidance and misguidance rightly.
For if we are misguided, we shall ourselves bear the consequences of our error; you will not be held answerable for it.
Therefore, it is in our own interest that we should consider seriously, before adopting a creed, that we are not following a wrong way.
Likewise, you also should think seriously for your own sake, not for our sake in any way, and make sure that you are not investing your life's capital in a false creed.
For if you committed an error in this regard, you would be harming only your own selves and not us.
"

( Say ) to them, O Muhammad: ( Ye will not be asked of what we committed ) of sins, ( nor shall we be asked of what ye do ) in your state of disbelief. But this was later abrogated by the verse of the sword.

Say (O Muhammad SAW to these polytheists, pagans, etc.) "You will not be asked about our sins, nor shall we be asked of what you do."
