  • Shabbir Ahmed

    Because of this (dilemma), then, (O Messenger) summon all mankind. And stand firm as you are commanded, and follow not their wishes.

We are responsible for our deeds and you are responsible for your deeds - No argument between us and you! (109:6). Allah will bring us together and unto Him is our journeying."

GOD will gather us all together; to Him is the ultimate destiny."

  • Mohamed Ahmed - Samira

    Yet to that (law) you should call them, and be constant as commanded. Do not follow their passing whims, but say: "I believe in whatever Scripture God has revealed, and I am commanded to act with equivalence among you. God is our Lord and your Lord. To us our actions, to you your deeds. There is no dispute between you and us. God will gather us all together, and to Him is our returning."

Let there be no contention between us and you: God will bring us all together - for with Him is all journeys’ end."

  • Marmaduke Pickthall

  • Abul A'la Maududi Tafhim commentary

    (This being so, O Muhammad), call people to the same religion and be steadfast about it as you were commanded, and do not follow their desires, and say (to them): "I believe in the Book Allah has sent down. I have been commanded to establish justice among you. Allah is our Lord and your Lord. We have our deeds and you have your deeds. There is no contention between us and you. Allah will bring us all together. To Him all are destined to return."

  • Abdel Khalek Himmat Al- Muntakhab

Allah is our Creator and your Creator. We are accountable for our deeds and you are answerable for yours, no proposition does either of us advance to influence the mind of the other nor is there between us a contest of emulation; in one assembly shall Allah bring us together; He is the end and the purpose for which all of us are destined.

  • Bijan Moeinian

    Therefore, invite them to the same way and accomplish your mission as you (Mohammad) are commanded and do not compromise and do not follow their whims and say: "I believe in the Scriptures that God has sent down.

There is no dispute between us Know well that God one day will gather us together in His court and we will all eventually return to Him."

  • Al-Hilali & Khan

    So unto this (religion of Islâm alone and this Qur’ân) then invite (people) (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), and stand firm , as you are commanded, and follow not their desires but say: "I believe in whatsoever Allâh has sent down of the Book and I am commanded to do justice among you. Allâh is our Lord and your Lord. For us our deeds and for you your deeds. There is no dispute between us and you. Allâh will assemble us (all), and to Him is the final return."

Allah is our Lord and your Lord: for us (is the responsibility for) our deeds, and for you for your deeds. There is no contention between us and you. Allah will bring us together, and to Him is (our) Final Goal.

Allah will gather us together ˹for judgment˺. And to Him is the final return."
