(My counsel will not profit you) my invitation and warning to you from Allah's chastisement will not benefit you (if I were minded to advise you) if I were to warn you and call you to profess Allah's divine Oneness, (if Allah's will is to keep you astray) from guidance. (He is your lord) and has better right over you than me (and unto Him ye will be brought back) after death and He will reward you according to your works.
