"And do not say about anything, 'I will do it tomorrow,' without adding, 'If Allah wills.' And when you forget, remember your Lord, and say, 'Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to righteousness.'" (18:23-24)
This verse provides a glimpse into the immense compassion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He was so deeply affected by the rejection of his people that he was effectively "killing himself" with worry for their souls. Allah consoles him here, clarifying that his duty is only to convey the message, and he is not responsible for the hearts of those who choose to remain blind to the truth. Verses 7-8: The Illusion of Worldly Adornment
