Quran 39:41 (Ayah az-Zumar)
Surely We have revealed to you the Book ˹O Prophet˺ with the truth for humanity. So whoever chooses to be guided, it is for their own good. & whoever chooses to stray, It is only to their own loss. You are not a keeper over them. Quran 39:41 Surah az-Zumar (The Troops, Throngs, The Companies)
The Surah takes its name from the mention of ‘az-Zumar’ in (39:71) and (39:73). These are the only mention of the words zumar in the whole Qur’an.
There are 88 Ayat in this Surah.
إِنَّاۤ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَیۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ لِلنَّاسِ بِٱلۡحَقِّۖ فَمَنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَلِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا یَضِلُّ عَلَیۡهَاۖ وَمَاۤ أَنتَ عَلَیۡهِم بِوَكِیلٍ
The Surah talks about the true religion. It is to serve Allah sincerely and to avoid Shirk. Tawhid brings the blessings of Allah, while Shirk has terrible consequences. The Believers are told not to despair and lose heart. If it is difficult for them to practice their religion in one place, they can migrate from that land. The unbelievers are told that they can do whatever they wish, but they cannot turn the Believers away from the path of faith.
(اے نبیؐ) ہم نے سب انسانوں کے لیے یہ کتاب برحق تم پر نازل کر دی ہے اب جو سیدھا راستہ اختیار کرے گا اپنے لیے کرے گا اور جو بھٹکے گا اُس کے بھٹکنے کا وبال اُسی پر ہوگا، تم اُن کے ذمہ دار نہیں ہو
