Surah Yunus 10:41

The Command to be Free and Clear from the Idolators

Allah said to His Prophet : `If these idolators belie you, then be clear from them and their deeds.'

(Say: "For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds!") Similarly, Allah said:

(Say: "O you disbelievers! I worship not that which you worship.")109:1-2 to the end of the Surah. Ibrahim Al-Khalil (the Friend) and his followers said to the idolators among their people:

(Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allah) 60:4 Allah then said:

(And among them are some who listen to you,) They listen to your beautiful talk and to the Glorious Qur'an. They listen to your truthful, eloquent and authentic Hadiths that are useful to the hearts, the bodies and their faith. This is indeed a great benefit and is sufficient. But guiding the people to the truth is not up to you or to them. You cannot make the deaf hear. Therefore you cannot guide these people except if Allah wishes. Y

(And among them are some who look at you, ) They look at you and at what Allah has given you in terms of dignity, noble personality and great conduct. There is in all of this clear evidence of your prophethood to those who have reason and insight. Other people also look but they do not receive guidance like them. Believers look at you with respect and dignity while disbelievers regard you with contempt.

(And when they see you, they treat you only in mockery.)25:41 Then Allah announces that He is never unjust with anyone. He guides whomever He wills and opens the eyes of the blind, makes the deaf hear and removes neglect from the hearts. At the same time He lets others go astray, moving away from faith. He does all of that yet He is always Just, for He is the Ruler and has full authority over His kingdom. He does whatever He wills without any restrictions. No one can question Him as to what He does while he will question everyone else. He is Omniscient, All-Wise, and All-Just. So Allah said:

(Truly, Allah wrongs not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves.) In the Hadith narrated by Abu Dharr, he states that the Prophet related that His Lord, Exalted and High is He, said:

(O My servant! I have prohibited oppression for Myself and made it prohibited for you, so do not oppress one another...) Until He said at the end of the Hadith:

(O My servants! It is but your deeds that I reckon for you and then recompense you for. So let him who finds good (in the Hereafter) praise Allah. And let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself.) The complete version was recorded by Muslim.

Allah memberikan penjelasan, apabila orang musyrikin itu tetap mendustakan Muhammad saw, maka Allah memerintahkan kepadanya untuk mengatakan kepada mereka bahwa Nabi Muhammad saw berkewajiban meneruskan tugasnya yaitu meneruskan tugas-tugas kerasulannya, sebagai penyampai perintah Allah yang kebenarannya jelas, perintah yang mengandung peringatan dan janji-janji serta tuntunan ibadah berikut pokok-pokok kemaslahatan yang menjadi pedoman untuk kehidupan dunia. Nabi Muhammad saw tidak diperintahkan untuk menghakimi mereka, apabila mereka tetap mempertahankan sikap mereka yang mendustakan Al-Qur'an dan mempersekutukan Allah, Allah berfirman:

Katakanlah (Muhammad), "Setiap orang berbuat sesuai dengan pem-bawaannya masing-masing." Maka Tuhanmu lebih mengetahui siapa yang lebih benar jalannya. (al-Isra/17: 84)

Mereka berlepas diri (tidak bertanggung jawab) terhadap apa yang dilakukan oleh Nabi Muhammad saw dan Nabi Muhammad pun tidak bertanggungjawab terhadap apa yang mereka lakukan. Maksudnya Allah tidak akan menjatuhkan hukuman kepada seseorang karena kesalahan orang yang lain. Allah berfirman:

Katakanlah, "Kamu tidak akan dimintai tanggung jawab atas apa yang kami kerjakan dan kami juga tidak akan dimintai tanggung jawab atas apa yang kamu kerjakan." (Saba/34: 25

Katakanlah (Muhammad), "Jika aku mengada-ada, akulah yang akan memi-kul dosanya, dan aku bebas dari dosa yang kamu perbuat." (Hud/11: 35)

Dan firman-Nya lagi:

Kemudian jika mereka mendurhakaimu maka katakanlah (Muhammad), "Sesungguhnya aku tidak bertanggung jawab terhadap apa yang kamu kerjakan." (asy-Syuara/26: 216)
