The Holy Quran 37:30 — Surah As-Saffat

Arabic text

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ ۖ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَـٰغِينَ

Translation

"We never had any authority over you (and could therefore not compel you to remain as Kuffaar). However, you were a rebellious nation (exceeding the limits and would have remained Kuffaar even if we told you nothing)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وما كان لنا عليكم من حجة أو قوَّة، فنصدكم بها عن الإيمان، بل كنتم -أيها المشركون- قومًا طاغين متجاوزين للحق.
