And my advice will not benefit you – although I wished to advise you – If Allah should intend to put you in error. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned.”
“Of no profit will be my counsel to you, much as I desire to give you (good) counsel, if it be that Allah willeth to leave you astray: He is your Lord! and to Him will ye return!”
If I want to give you good advice that will not profit you if Allah Himself has decided to let you go astray. He is your Lord, and to Him will you be returned.’

My counsel will not profit you if I were minded to advise you, if Allah’s will is to keep you astray. He is your Lord and unto Him ye will be brought back.
And my advice will not profit you, in case I am willing to advise you, in case Allah wills to misguide you; He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned.” 109
My advice will be no use to you if God wishes to leave you to your delusions: He is your Lord and to Him you will be returned.’
تمہیں میری خیر خواہی کچھ بھی نفع نہیں دے سکتی، گو میں کتنی ہی تمہاری خیر خواہی کیوں نہ چاہوں، بشرطیکہ اللہ کا اراده تمہیں گمراه کرنے کا ہو، وہی تم سب کا پروردگار ہے اور اسی کی طرف لوٹائے جاؤ گے

(11:34) If I want to give you good advice that will not profit you if Allah Himself has decided to let you go astray.[38] He is your Lord, and to Him will you be returned.’
38. That is, all my efforts to do good to you cannot prove effective, if Allah has decided to withhold the right way from you because of your obduracy in evil and the lack of interest in good ways. For Allah lets people go astray on the way they choose for themselves.
