Verse 69of 165

وَمَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِم مِّن شَىْءٍۢ وَلَٰكِن ذِكْرَىٰ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ﴿٦٩

Translation (Sahih International)

And those who fear Allah are not held accountable for the disbelievers at all, but [only for] a reminder - that perhaps they will fear Him.

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Invitation to the Truth is Guidance Without CoercionAllah said, وَكَذَّبَ بِهِ(But have denied it) denied the Qur'an, guidance and clear explanation that you (O Muhammad ) have brought them, قَوْمُكَ (your people) meaning, Quraysh, وَهُوَ الْحَقُّ(though it is the truth.) beyond which there is no other truth. قُل لَّسْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِوَكِيلٍ(Say: "I am not responsible for your affairs.") meaning, I have not been appointed a guardian or watcher over you.
