Tafsir jalalayn

You have your religion, idolatry, and I have a religion', Islam; this was [revealed] before he was commanded to wage war [against the idolaters] (all seven Qur'nic readers omit the y' of the genitive possessive construction [in wa-liya dni] whether with a pause or without; Ya`qb, however, retains it in both cases). This was revealed at Min during the Farewell Pilgrimage, hence it is considered Medinese; it was the last sra to be revealed; it consists of 3 verses.

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

To you be your religion, and to me my religion.

This is similar to Allah's statement,

وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّى عَمَلِى وَلَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْ أَنتُمْ بَرِييُونَ مِمَّأ أَعْمَلُ وَأَنَاْ بَرِىءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

And if they belie you, say;

"For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds!

You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!" (10;41)

and He said,

لَنَأ أَعْمَـلُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَـلُكُمْ

To us our deeds, and to you your deeds. (28;55)

Al-Bukhari said,

"It has been said,
لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ
(To you be your religion.) means disbelief.
وَلِىَ دِينِ
(and to me my religion.) means, Islam.
