40.41-42-43

وَ یٰقَوْمِ مَا لِیْۤ اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَى النَّجٰوةِ وَ تَدْعُوْنَنِیْۤ اِلَى النَّارِﭤٜ (41) تَدْعُوْنَنِیْ لِاَكْفُرَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ اُشْرِكَ بِهٖ مَا لَیْسَ لِیْ بِهٖ عِلْمٌ٘-وَّ اَنَا اَدْعُوْكُمْ اِلَى الْعَزِیْزِ الْغَفَّارِ(42) لَا جَرَمَ اَنَّمَا تَدْعُوْنَنِیْۤ اِلَیْهِ لَیْسَ لَهٗ دَعْوَةٌ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ لَا فِی الْاٰخِرَةِ وَ اَنَّ مَرَدَّنَاۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَ اَنَّ الْمُسْرِفِیْنَ هُمْ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ(43)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

My nation! How is it that I call you to salvation, while you call me to the Fire? [1] You call me to disbelieve in Allah and ascribe a partner to Him which I have no knowledge of, and I call you to the Most-Exalted, the Most-Forgiving. It is established that that which you call me to is neither a beneficial call in this world nor in the Hereafter, and our return will be to Allah; and those who exceed the limit, they are the People of the Fire.

Commentary

[1]

When the believing man felt that people were surprised at what he was saying and calling him to their false religion instead of heeding his advice, he reprimanded them for being so nonsensical. He did so because he was calling them towards faith and obedience as a way to Paradise. In contrast, they were calling him towards disbelief and polytheism as a way to Hell.
