وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَآ أَشْرَكُوا۟ ۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَـٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًا ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ
Walaw sh a a All a hu m a ashrakoo wam a jaAAaln a ka AAalayhim h afee th an wam a anta AAalayhim biwakeel in
Yet if God had so willed, they would not have ascribed divinity to aught beside Him;91 hence, We have not made thee their keeper, and neither art thou responsible for their conduct.
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., no mortal has it in his power to cause another person to believe unless God graces that person with His guidance.

If Allah wanted they would not be mushrikin. We have neither appointed you their keeper nor made you their guardian.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Had Allah willed, they would not have been polytheists. We have not appointed you as their keeper, nor are you their maintainer.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Had Allah is willed, they had not been idolatrous. We have not set thee as a keeper over them, nor art thou responsible for them.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
If it had been Allah's Plan they would not have taken false gods: but We made thee not one to watch over their doings nor art thou set over them to dispose of their affairs. 935
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

God's Plan is to use the human will to co-operate in understanding Him and His relations to us. This is the answer to an objector who might say: "If He is All-powered, why does sin or evil exist in the world? Can He not destroy it?" He can, but His Plan is different, and in any case it is not for a Teacher to force any one to accept the truths which he is inspired to preach and proclaim.
