The tafsir of Surah Qaf verse 45 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Qaf ayat 41 which provides the complete commentary from verse 41 through 45.
(50:45) (O Prophet), We are well aware of what they say;[55] and you are not required to force things on them. So exhort with the Qur’an all those who fear My warning.[56]
55. In this sentence there is consolation for the Prophet (peace be upon him) as well as a threat for the disbelievers. Addressing the Prophet (peace be upon him) it has been said: Do not care at all about what these foolish people utter about you. We are hearing everything and it is for Us to deal with it. The disbelievers are being warned to the effect: The taunting remarks that you are passing against Our Prophet will cost you dearly. We are hearing everything that you utter and you will have to suffer for its consequences.
56. This does not mean that the Prophet (peace be upon him) wanted to compel the people into believing and Allah stopped him from this. But, in fact, although the Prophet (peace be upon him) has been addressed, the disbelievers are being warned, as if to say: Our Prophet has not been sent as a dictator over you. He is not there to compel you to become believers even if you did not wish to believe. His only responsibility is that he should recite the Quran and make the truth plain to the one who would take the warning. Now, if you do not accept his invitation, We will deal with you, not he.
[1533]- Forcing people to belief or submission.
