Vers: 121

وَقُل لِّلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱعۡمَلُواْ عَلَىٰ مَكَانَتِكُمۡ إِنَّا عَٰمِلُونَ

(121) Say to those who do not Believe: “Labour in the state in which you are for surely we will be labouring ˹our own way˺!”^[2655]

[2655] This statement, which is the same as that said by Prophet Shuʿayb to his people in a similar situation (cf. Aya 93 above) amounts to a final declaration that things between the two parties will remain at the current state for the time being, each being firm in their stand, until God brings His Command. It, along with the next two ayas, are meant to put the Messenger’s mind at ease, whereby he rests assured knowing that none but God Almighty dispenses affairs.
