The Reasons for Your Distress Over the Disbelief of the Disbelievers:
It was your utmost desire that the disbelievers of Makkah embrace faith, and when instead of believing they adopted a hostile attitude, you would feel intense grief. There were several reasons for this. One was that you possessed extremely compassionate and sympathetic feelings for the creation of Allah. You knew that these people, by opposing you, were destined to become fuel for Hell. Therefore, their opposition caused you deep sorrow. The second reason was natural: when a person puts all his efforts into a task and sees no positive result, he becomes disappointed and deeply distressed. The third reason, in which other Muslims were also included, was that if these people had accepted Islam, Islam would have gained considerable strength. Otherwise, the sufferings and difficulties of the Muslims were only increasing. Due to these reasons, you remained deeply saddened and grieved at the disbelievers’ rejection. In this verse, Allah Almighty consoled you by saying that you should not grieve yourself to death over their not believing. Guiding them to the right path is not your responsibility, and what is your responsibility, you are already fulfilling. Leave them to their own state; dealing with them is My task. You just continue doing your work.
