رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ إِن يَشَأْ يَرْحَمْكُمْ أَوْ إِن يَشَأْ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيلًا
Your Lord knows you best. He will have mercy on you if He wishes, or punish you, if He wishes, and We did not send you to watch over them.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 17:54
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 17:54] As the "mercy unto the worlds" the Holy Prophet was concerned about the fate of the disbelievers, but according to the will and plan of Allah all human beings enjoy full freedom to choose between good and evil, therefore, on the part of the Holy Prophet, it was enough that he conveyed to them the message of Allah and invited them to the right path. It is Allah who grants mercy to whom He wills and punishes whom He wills.
