The Disbelievers · Meccan · Juz 30 · Page 603
To You Your Religion
لَكُمۡ دِينُكُمۡ وَلِيَ دِينِ ٦
Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
To you your religion, and to me mine.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this means: “The whole responsibility and account of the belief you hold is yours; it does not pass to me, I am entirely free of it; never expect me to accept it.”
Reflect
Try to be both firm and respectful towards those who think differently.
