Quran 6:69 — Al-An'aam, verse 69
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
The righteous are not in any way held accountable for the wrongdoers; their only duty is to remind them, so that they may be mindful of God.
وَمَا عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ مِنْ حِسَابِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَلَـٰكِنْ ذِكْرَىٰ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ
wamā ʿalā alladhīna yattaqūna min ḥisābihim min shayin walākin dhik'rā laʿallahum yattaqūna
