Sahih International
And those who fear Allah are not held accountable for the disbelievers at all, but [only for] a reminder – that perhaps they will fear Him.

Yusuf Ali
On their account no responsibility falls on the righteous, but (their duty) is to remind them, that they may (learn to) fear Allah.

Abul Ala Maududi
For those who are God-fearing are by no means accountable for the others except that it is their duty to adinonish them; maybe then, they will shun evil.

Muhsin Khan
Those who fear Allah, keep their duty to Him and avoid evil are not responsible for them (the disbelievers) in any case, but (their duty) is to remind them, that they may avoid that (mockery at the Quran). [The order of this Verse was cancelled (abrogated) by the Verse 4:140].

Pickthall
Those who ward off (evil) are not accountable for them in aught, but the Reminder (must be given them) that haply they (too) may ward off (evil).

Dr. Ghali
And in no way are the ones who are pious (responsible) for their reckoning in anything. But (it is only) a Reminding, that possibly they would be pious.

The righteous are not in any way held accountable for the wrongdoers; their only duty is to remind them, so that they may be mindful of God.

Muhammad Junagarhi
اور جو لوگ پرہیزگار ہیں ان پر ان کی باز پرس کا کوئی اﺛر نہ پہنچے گا اور لیکن ان کے ذمہ نصیحت کردینا ہے شاید وه تقویٰ اختیار کریں

Quran 6 Verse 69 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Al-An’am ayat 69, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(6:69) For those who are God-fearing are by no means accountable for the others except that it is their duty to adinonish them; maybe then, they will shun evil.[45]


45. Those who avoid disobedience to God will not be held responsible for the errors of those who disobey. This being the case, the former have no justification for taking it upon themselves to persuade the latter to obedience or to consider themselves obliged to answer all their questions, however absurd and flimsy, until the Truth is forced down their throats. Their duty is merely to admonish and place the Truth before those whom they find stumbling about in error. If there is no response to this call except remonstration and obstinate argument they are under no obligation to waste their time and energy on them. They should rather devote their time and energy to instructing and admonishing those who have an urge to seek out the Truth.
