Explanatory translation

8O Prophet, so convey the message of tawhid (affirming the oneness of Allah) to people and invite them to live an Allah-centered life. Do not yield to those who, by both their words and their deeds, deem the Truth a lie and deny the Quran you convey. Do not obey them because you are impressed by their great power, numbers, and wealth. Pay them no mind, and do not let them trouble you. Be gentle and merciful toward all people, but do not cover up the truths the Quran sets forth in the name of tolerance! And never hold back, even for a moment, from proclaiming the truth aloud to those who do not accept the call.
