Let Them Not Avert You
وَلَا يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنۡ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بَعۡدَ إِذۡ أُنزِلَتۡ إِلَيۡكَۖ وَٱدۡعُ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَۖ وَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ٨٧
And let them not divert thee from the revelations of Allah after they have been sent down unto thee; but call (mankind) unto thy Lord, and be not of those who ascribe partners (unto Him).
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Let them not avert you from the verses after they were revealed; invite to your Lord.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this means let them not turn you from conveying and applying Allah’s verses.
Reflect
Beware of what pulls you away from the verses.
