[Pooya/Ali Commentary 88:21] The prophet of Allah is sent to teach, preach and guide the people, but not to force people to adopt the right path. Musaytir has been used here in the sense of an enforcer or compeller who forces or coerces in order to make any one carry out commands against one's will under duress. As has been said in Baqarah: 256, there is no compulsion in religion, so the prophet of Allah is not a compeller in this sense, otherwise as the vicegerent of Allah he has the authority to execute His divine legislative will. It is Allah who will punish the transgressors. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: The authority of Allah is absolute, yet all the functionaries carrying out His authority on His behalf, such as the prophets, the Imams as their successors, the angels and the spirits, are authorised by Him to execute His will.
