اور وہ خدا کو چھوڑ کر اس چیز کی عبادت کرتے ہیں جو نہ ان کو نقصان پہنچاتی ہے اور نہ ہی ان کو فائدہ پہنچاتی ہے اور کہتے ہیں کہ یہ خدا کے پاس ہمارے سفارشی ہیں کہو کہ خدا کو وہ نعمتیں ہیں جن کو وہ آسمانوں اور زمین میں نہیں جانتا وہ پاک ہے اور وہ ان چیزوں سے بلند ہے جن کو یہ اس کے ساتھ شریک کرتے ہیں (18)

Therefore, according to this prescribed method, after reciting these blessed verses once, blow on a patient.”

Write this blessed verse in a clean vessel and drink it daily.”

(10)دَعْوَىٰهُمْ فِيهَا سُبْحَـٰنَكَ ٱللَّهُمَّ وَتَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيهَا سَلَـٰمٌۭ ۚ وَءَاخِرُ دَعْوَىٰهُمْ أَنِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
In surat yunus ayat 40- 41 Allah delineates the varying responses of people to His guidance. While some embrace belief in Allah and adhere to His commands, others outrightly reject His decrees. Allah, in His omniscience, is intimately aware of each individual’s disposition towards faith.
وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ یُّؤْمِنُ بِهٖ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَّنْ لَّا یُؤْمِنُ بِهٖؕ-وَ رَبُّكَ اَعْلَمُ بِالْمُفْسِدِیْنَ(40)وَ اِنْ كَذَّبُوْكَ فَقُلْ لِّیْ عَمَلِیْ وَ لَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْۚ-اَنْتُمْ بَرِیْٓــٴُـوْنَ مِمَّاۤ اَعْمَلُ وَ اَنَا بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُوْنَ(41)
In continuation of the discussion on human responses to divine guidance in surat yunus ayat 41 ” “And if they deny you, then say, ‘For me are my deeds, and for you are your deeds. You are disassociated from what I do, and I am disassociated from what you do.” emphasizes the individual accountability before Allah. It signifies that each person is responsible for their own actions and beliefs.

Surah Yunus juz 11 discusses the stories of various prophets, emphasizing the themes of faith, patience, and the consequences of disbelief. It also emphasizes the concept of divine mercy and the importance of seeking forgiveness from Allah.
At the conclusion of the Surah, the Prophet has been directed to state: “This is the faith and this is the way of life that has been ordained by Allah for me. There can be no alteration in it. Whoever embraces it does so for his own benefit, and whoever rejects it does so to his own detriment.”
