&quotKuma ya mutãnħna! Me ya sãme ni, inã kiran ku zuwa ga tsĩra, kuma kunã kira na zuwa ga wutã?&quot

"And O my people! How (strange) it is for me to call you to Salvation while ye call me to the Fire!
And, O my people! how is it that I call you to salvation and you call me to the fire?
And, O my people! What aileth me that I call you unto deliverance when ye call me unto the Fire?

Asbabu n-Nuzuul (Occasions of Revelation)

The Conclusion of the Believer's Words, and the ultimate Destiny of both Parties

Allah informs that the believer said:

وَيَا قَوْمِ مَا لِي أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى النَّجَاةِ ...

"And O my people! How is it that I call you to salvation,

That believer said: `Why do I call you to salvation, which is the worship of Allah alone with no partner or associate, and belief in His Messenger, whom He has sent,'

... وَتَدْعُونَنِي إِلَى النَّارِ ﴿٤١﴾

تَدْعُونَنِي لِأَكْفُرَ بِاللَّهِ وَأُشْرِكَ بِهِ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِهِ عِلْمٌ ...

while you call me to the Fire! You invite me to disbelieve in Allah, and to join partners in worship with Him of which I have no knowledge;

means, on the basis of ignorance, with no proof or evidence.

... وَأَنَا أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى الْعَزِيزِ الْغَفَّارِ ﴿٤٢﴾

and I invite you to the Almighty, the Oft-Forgiving!

means, with all His might and pride, He still forgives the sin of the one who repents to Him.

يقول لهم المؤمن ما بالي أدعوكم إلى النجاة وهي عبادة الله وحده لا شريك له وتصديق رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم الذي بعثه .

أي إلى طريق الإيمان الموصل إلى الجنان
