Surah Yunus ayat 41 Tafsir Quran 10:41

﴿وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّي عَمَلِي وَلَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْ ۖ أَنتُم بَرِيئُونَ مِمَّا أَعْمَلُ وَأَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ﴾
[ يونس: 41]

10:41 And if they deny you, [O Muhammad], then say, "For me are my deeds, and for you are your deeds. You are disassociated from what I do, and I am disassociated from what you do."

If they deny you then say to them ‘Unto me is my work and to you your work that is for each there will be a due requital of his deeds; you are innocent of what I do and I am innocent of what you do’ this was abrogated by the ‘sword’ verse Q. 95.

However, if they should charge you O Muhammad with falsehood, you just say to them: I am responsible for my deeds and you are responsible for yours; you are innocent of my actions and I am innocent of what your minds and souls impel you to do

The Command to be Free and Clear from the Idolators Allah said to His Prophet : `If these idolators belie you, then be clear from them and their deeds.' فَقُل لِّى عَمَلِى وَلَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْ ( Say: "For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds!" ) Similarly, Allah said: قُلْ يأَيُّهَا الْكَـفِرُونَ - لاَ أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ ( Say: "O you disbelievers! I worship not that which you worship." )109:1-2 to the end of the Surah.
Ibrahim Al-Khalil ( the Friend ) and his followers said to the idolators among their people: إِنَّا بُرَءآؤاْ مِّنْكُمْ وَمِمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ ( Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allah ) 60:4 Allah then said: وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن يَسْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكَ ( And among them are some who listen to you, ) They listen to your beautiful talk and to the Glorious Qur'an.
They listen to your truthful, eloquent and authentic Hadiths that are useful to the hearts, the bodies and their faith.
This is indeed a great benefit and is sufficient.
But guiding the people to the truth is not up to you or to them.
You cannot make the deaf hear.
Therefore you cannot guide these people except if Allah wishes.
Y وَمِنهُمْ مَّن يَنظُرُ إِلَيْكَ ( And among them are some who look at you, ) They look at you and at what Allah has given you in terms of dignity, noble personality and great conduct.
There is in all of this clear evidence of your prophethood to those who have reason and insight.
Other people also look but they do not receive guidance like them.
Believers look at you with respect and dignity while disbelievers regard you with contempt. وَإِذَا رَأَوْكَ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلاَّ هُزُواً ( And when they see you, they treat you only in mockery. )25:41 Then Allah announces that He is never unjust with anyone.
He guides whomever He wills and opens the eyes of the blind, makes the deaf hear and removes neglect from the hearts.
At the same time He lets others go astray, moving away from faith.
He does all of that yet He is always Just, for He is the Ruler and has full authority over His kingdom.
He does whatever He wills without any restrictions.
No one can question Him as to what He does while he will question everyone else.
He is Omniscient, All-Wise, and All-Just.
So Allah said: إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَظْلِمُ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا وَلَـكِنَّ النَّاسَ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ ( Truly, Allah wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves. ) In the Hadith narrated by Abu Dharr, he states that the Prophet related that His Lord, Exalted and High is He, said:
«يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَجَعَلْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ مُحَرَّمًا فَلَا تَظَالَمُوا»
( O My servant! I have prohibited oppression for Myself and made it prohibited for you, so do not oppress one another... ) Until He said at the end of the Hadith: يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّمَا هِيَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ أُحْصِيهَا لَكُمْ، ثُمَّ أُوفِيكُمْ إِيَّاهَا، فَمَنْ وَجَدَ خَيْرًا فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللهَ، وَمَنْ وَجَدَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَلَا يَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَه» ( O My servants! It is but your deeds that I reckon for you and then recompense you for.
So let him who finds good (in the Hereafter ) praise Allah.
And let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself.) The complete version was recorded by Muslim.

(10:41) And if they reject you as false, tell them: 'My deeds are for myself and your deeds for yourselves. You will not be held responsible for my deeds, nor I for your deeds. *49

And if they deny you, [O Muhammad], meaning

*49).
Since every individual is himself accountable for his deeds, there is no point in engaging in unnecessary discussions which are often actuated by obduracy.
For if the Prophet ( peace be on him ) was indeed inventing lies, he would bear the evil consequence of such an action.
On the other hand, if his opponents were denying the truth, their action will not hurt the Prophet ( peace be on him ), but rather hurt themselves.

( And if they deny thee ) and if your people deny, O Muhammad, what you say, ( say: Unto me my work ) my religion, ( and unto you your work ) your religion. ( You are innocent of what I do ) and follow as religion, ( and I am innocent of what ye do ) and follow as religion.

And if they belie 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!"
