Surah Hud ayat 34 Tafsir Quran 11:34

﴿وَلَا يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِي إِنْ أَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ ۚ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ﴾
[ هود: 34]

11:34 And my advice will not benefit you - although I wished to advise you - If Allah should intend to put you in error. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned."

And my counsel will not benefit you if I desire to counsel you when God desires to keep you astray the response to the conditional is indicated by wa-lā yanfa‘ukum nushī ‘and my counsel will not benefit you’. He is your Lord and to Him you will be brought back’.

Nor shall my admonition profit you little or much even if I do my best if Allah should decide to lead you in the wrong in the- train of your ill-natured hearts which reflect the morbidity inherent in your innermost being. He is your Creator, and back to Him shall all of you inevitably return

The People's Request of Nuh to bring the Torment and His Response to Them Allah, the Exalted, informs that the people of Nuh sought to hasten Allah's vengeance, torment, anger and the trial ( His punishment ).
This is based on their saying, قَالُواْ ينُوحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا ( They said: "O Nuh! You have disputed with us and much have you prolonged the dispute with us..." ) They meant by this, "You ( Nuh ) have argued with us long enough, and we are still not going to follow you." فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ ( now bring upon us what you threaten us with, ) What he ( Nuh ) promised is referring to the vengeance and torment ( from Allah ).
They were actually saying, "Supplicate against us however you wish, and let whatever you have supplicated come to us." إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّـدِقِينَقَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ إِن شَآءَ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ ( "...if you are of the truthful." (In reply to this, ) He said: "Only Allah will bring it ( the punishment ) on you, if He wills, and then you will escape not.)11:32-33 This means, `It is only Allah Who can punish you and hasten your punishment for you.
He is the One from Whom nothing escapes.
' وَلاَ يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِى إِنْ أَرَدْتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ ( And my advice will not profit you, even if I wish to give you good counsel, if Allah's will is to keep you astray. ) This means: something that could be useful to you ( in acceptance ) of my preaching to you, warning you and advising you. إِن كَانَ اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ ( if Allah's will is to keep you astray. ) This means: your deception and your ultimate destruction. هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ( He is your Lord! and to Him you shall return. ) He is the Owner of the finality of all matters.
He is the Controller, the Judge, the Most Just and He does not do any injustice.
Unto Him belongs the creation and the command.
He is the Originator and the Repeater ( of the creation ).
He is the Owner of this life and the Hereafter.

(11:34) If I want to give you good advice that will not profit you if Allah Himself has decided to let you go astray. *38 He is your Lord, and to Him will you be returned.'

And my advice will not benefit you meaning

*38).
Such was their obduracy, mischievousness and absolute disregard for righteous behaviour that quite understandably God should decide not to direct them to the right way and instead let them, as they wished, stumble in error.
Once God had made such a decision no one's effort to direct them to the right way - not even the Prophet's - could be of any avail.

( My counsel will not profit you ) my invitation and warning to you from Allah’s chastisement will not benefit you ( if I were minded to advise you ) if I were to warn you and call you to profess Allah’s divine Oneness, ( if Allah’s will is to keep you astray ) from guidance. ( He is your lord ) and has better right over you than me ( and unto Him ye will be brought back ) after death and He will reward you according to your works.

"And my advice will not profit you, even if I wish to give you good counsel, if Allah's Will is to keep you astray. He is your Lord! and to Him you shall return."
