So destroy not yourself O Muhammad in sorrow for them | First, the people being mentioned here were not the conunon people, but the chiefs of Makkah |

Swahili - Al-Barwani : Je Yule aliye pambiwa a'mali zake mbaya na akaziona ni njema basi hakika Mwenyezi Mungu humwacha akapotea amtakaye na humwongoa amtakaye Basi nafsi yako isijihiliki kwa kuwasikitikia Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu anajua wanayo yafanya• Secondly, if Allah had only meant to make His Prophet understand the supreme truth, He could have secretly made him aware of this | English - Sahih International : Then is one to whom the evil of his deed has been made attractive so he considers it good [like one rightly guided] For indeed Allah sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills So do not let yourself perish over them in regret Indeed Allah is Knowing of what they do• [Ref 2] Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [rahimahullaah] said: The pious predecessors named Ahlul Bidah Wal Furqah [the people of religious innovations and blameworthy splitting]- those who oppose the Book and the Sunnah- as Ahlul Ahwaa [the people of desires], because they accept what they love and reject what they hate based on their desires without guidance from Allaah |

Indonesia - Bahasa Indonesia : Maka apakah orang yang dijadikan syaitan menganggap baik pekerjaannya yang buruk lalu dia meyakini pekerjaan itu baik sama dengan orang yang tidak ditipu oleh syaitan Maka sesungguhnya Allah menyesatkan siapa yang dikehendakiNya dan menunjuki siapa yang dikehendakiNya; maka janganlah dirimu binasa karena kesedihan terhadap mereka Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang mereka perbuat• In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy | Somali - Abduh : Ruuxse loo qurxiyay camalkiisa xun oo u arkay inuu fiicanyahay ma lamid baa kaan saas falin Eebe cidduu doono yuu dhumiyaa Ruuxuu doonana wuu Hanuuniyaa ee yeyna Naftaadu ku tagan walbahaarkooda Eebe waa ogyahay waxay samayne• who were employing every falsehood, every fraud and every trick to defeat the mission of the Holy Prophet |
To mention it in the Qur'an and to proclaim it to the world was in fact meant to warn the conunon people that the leaders and the religious guides whom they were following blindly were the people of perverted mentality.
