Tafsir · Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
The Command to Follow the Revelation
Allah commands His Messenger and those who followed his path,
(Follow what has been inspired to you from your Lord,) meaning, follow it, obey it and act according to it. What has been revealed to you from your Lord is the Truth, no doubt, and there is no deity worthy of worship except Him,
(and turn aside from the idolators) meaning, forgive them, be forbearing and endure their harm until Allah brings relief to you, supports you and makes you triumphant over them. Know -- O Muhammad -- that there is a wisdom behind misleading the idolators, and that had Allah willed, He would have directed all people to guidance,
(Had Allah willed, they would not have taken others besides Him in worship.) Allah's is the perfect will and wisdom in all decrees and decisions, and He is never questioned about what He does, while they all will be questioned. Allah's statement,
(And We have not made you Hafiz over them.) means, a watcher who observes their statements and deeds,
(Nor are you set over them to dispose of their affairs. ) or to control their provision. Rather, your only job is to convey, just as Allah said,
(So remind them, you are only one who reminds. You are not a dictator over them.) 88:21-22 and,
(Your duty is only to convey and on Us is the reckoning.) 13:40
