Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

among the faithful,
105 and that:
Dedicate yourself to the religion,
as a ḥanīf,
and never be one of the polytheists.
106 Nor invoke besides Allah
that which neither benefits you
nor can do you any harm.
For if you do so,
then you will indeed be among the wrongdoers.” ’
107 Should Allah visit you with some distress,
there is no one to remove it except Him;
and should He desire any good for you,
none can stand in the way of His grace:
He grants it to whomever He wishes of His servants,
and He is the All-forgiving, the All-merciful.
108 Say, ‘O mankind!
The truth has already come to you from your Lord.
Whoever is guided,
is guided only for [the good of] his own soul,
and whoever goes astray,
goes astray only to its detriment,
and it is not my business to watch over you.’
109 And follow that which is revealed to you,
and be patient until Allah issues [His] judgement,
and He is the best of judges.
