(1). 3341. Jābir narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I have been ordered to fight the people until they say: 'Lā Ilāha Illallāh'. So when they say that, their blood and their wealth are safe from me, except for a right, and their reckoning is for Allāh." Then he recited: So remind them – you are only one who reminds. You are not a dictator over them.[1]

Commentary
The duty of the noble Prophet ﷺ — and now of the scholars, who are his heirs — is just to convey the message, to give reminder, advice and to preach. They have no responsibility for placing Faith and Certainty in the people's hearts. They are not responsible for people's Faith; if the people do not believe, then they will not be held accountable for them.
