وَ لَنْ تَرْضٰى عَنْكَ الْیَهُوْدُ وَ لَا النَّصٰرٰى حَتّٰى تَتَّبِـعَ مِلَّتَهُمْؕ-قُلْ اِنَّ هُدَى اللّٰهِ هُوَ الْهُدٰىؕ-وَ لَىٕنِ اتَّبَعْتَ اَهْوَآءَهُمْ بَعْدَ الَّذِیْ جَآءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِۙ-مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ وَّلِیٍّ وَّ لَا نَصِیْرٍ(120)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

The Jews will never be content with you, nor will the Christians until you follow their religion.[1] Say, “The guidance of Allah; that is the only guidance.” And ˹O listener!˺ If you will comply with their wishes, even after knowledge has come to you,[2] then for you, there will neither be a saviour nor a helper against Allah.

Commentary

[1]

As a community, the disbelievers will never be content with Muslims even if there are apparent changes in attitude; it is most unfortunate that even after many experiences that testify to this truth, Muslims still do not take heed.

[2]

This address is not for the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, rather it is for every reader or listener of this verse. Alternatively, it apparently addresses the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, but the actual intent is to address his Ummah through him, as he would never comply with the desires of the People of the Book.
