Say, [O Muhammad], "O people, if you are in doubt as to my religion - then I do not worship those which you worship besides Allah; but I worship Allah, who causes your death. And I have been commanded to be of the believers

اے نبیؐ! کہہ دو کہ لوگو، اگر تم ابھی تک میرے دین کے متعلق کسی شک میں ہو تو سن لو کہ تم اللہ کے سوا جن کی بندگی کرتے ہو میں ان کی بندگی نہیں کرتا بلکہ صرف اسی خدا کی بندگی کرتا ہوں جس کے قبضے میں تمہاری موت ہے مجھے حکم دیا گیا ہے کہ میں ایمان لانے والوں میں سے ہوں

Katakanlah: "Hai manusia, jika kamu masih dalam keragu-raguan tentang agamaku, maka (ketahuilah) aku tidak menyembah yang kamu sembah selain Allah, tetapi aku menyembah Allah yang akan mematikan kamu dan aku telah diperintah supaya termasuk orang-orang yang beriman",
Ibn Kathir
The Command to worship Allah Alone and rely upon Him
Allah, the Exalted, says to His Messenger, Muhammad , `Say: O mankind! If you are in doubt about the correctness of that which I have been sent with the Hanif (monotheism) religion - the religion which Allah has revealed to me -- then know that I do not worship those whom you worship besides Allah. Rather, I worship Allah alone, ascribing no partners to Him. He is the One Who causes you to die just as He gives you life. Then, unto Him is your final return. If the gods that you call upon are real, I still refuse to worship them. So call upon them and ask them to harm me, and you will see that they can bring no harm or benefit. The only One Who holds the power of harm and benefit in His Hand is Allah alone, Who has no partners.'
وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
(And I was commanded to be one of the believers.) 10:104 Concerning Allah's statement,
وَأَنْ أَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ حَنِيفًا
(And that you direct your face towards the Hanif religion) This means to make one's intention in worship solely for Allah alone, being a Hanif. Hanif means one who turns away from associating partners with Allah. For this reason Allah says,
وَلاَ تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكَينَ
(and not be one of the idolators. ) This statement is directly connected with the previous statement,
وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
(And I was commanded to be one of the believers.) Concerning His statement,
وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ
(And if Allah touches you with harm,) This verse contains the explanation that good, evil, benefit and harm only come from Allah alone and no one shares with His power over these things. Therefore, He is the One Who deserves to be worshipped alone, without ascription of partners. Concerning His statement,
وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
(And He is the Pardoning, the Merciful.) This means that He is forgiving and merciful towards those who turn to Him in repentance, regardless of what sin the person has committed. Even if the person associated a partner with Allah, verily Allah would forgive him if he repented from it.

قل -أيها الرسول- لهؤلاء الناس: إن كنتم في شك من صحة ديني الذي دعوتكم إليه، وهو الإسلام ومن ثباتي واستقامتي عليه، وترجون تحويلي عنه، فإني لا أعبد في حال من الأحوال أحدًا من الذين تعبدونهم مما اتخذتم من الأصنام والأوثان، ولكن أعبد الله وحده الذي يميتكم ويقبض أرواحكم، وأُمِرْت أن أكون من المصدِّقين به العاملين بشرعه.
