6:107

وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَآ أَشْرَكُوا۟ ۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَـٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًا ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ

walaw shāa l-lahu mā ashrakū wamā jaʿalnāka ʿalayhim ḥafīẓan wamā anta ʿalayhim biwakīlin

But if Allāh had willed, they would not have associated. And We have not appointed you over them as a guardian, nor are you a manager over them.

— Saheeh International

If it had been God’s will, they would not have done so, but We have not made you their guardian, nor are you their keeper.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Had Allâh willed, they would not have taken others besides Him in worship. And We have not made you a watcher over them nor are you a Wakîl (disposer of affairs, guardian, trustee) over them.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
