18. 2 That is, its benefit will be only for him, that on the Day of Resurrection he will be saved from Allah's punishment.
18. 3 That is, its harm and consequence will fall only upon him, that on the Day of Resurrection he will burn in the fire of Hell. In other words, if someone adopts the path of guidance, it will not increase Allah's power in any way, and if someone chooses disbelief and misguidance, it will not make any difference to Allah's sovereignty and power. Thus, the encouragement towards faith and guidance, and the emphasis and arrangement to avoid disbelief and misguidance, both are intended solely for the benefit and well-being of humans. Allah Himself has no personal interest.
18. 4 That is, this responsibility has not been assigned to me that I must, under all circumstances, make you Muslims. Rather, I am only a bearer of glad tidings and a warner, a preacher and an inviter. My duty is only to give glad tidings to the believers, to warn the disobedient of Allah's punishment and His reckoning, and to invite and convey Allah's message. If someone accepts this invitation and believes, that is fine; if someone does not accept, then I am not obliged to force him to accept.

The Three Principles of Guidance, Benefits of Accepting Guidance:
Thus, in the above three verses, the concept of guidance has been explained in summary, which consists of the following principles: complete avoidance of all forms of shirk, placing trust solely in Allah Almighty and considering Him the owner of benefit and harm, and proceeding with full devotion on the divinely revealed Shariah without looking here and there. The one who adopts such guidance gains the benefit in this world that he receives complete guidance for every aspect of life and does not need external ideologies and philosophies, and life is spent responsibly and peacefully. In the Hereafter, he will surely attain success. And the person who does not adopt such guidance keeps wandering here and there all his life; he gets only as much of the world as is destined for him, but he cannot attain peace, and in the Hereafter, his destruction and ruin are certain, and he himself is responsible for that destruction.
