Salaam all,
Qul ya ayyuha alnnasu innee rasoolu Allahi ilaykum jameeAAan allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi la ilaha illa huwa yuhyee wayumeetu faaminoo biAllahi warasoolihi alnnabiyyi alommiyyi allathee yuminu biAllahi wakalimatihi waittabiAAoohu laAAallakum tahtadoona
The Aya says:
Say (O Muhammad): “O people, I am Allah’s envoy to you all, who has authority of the heavens and the earth, there is no one worthy of worship but Him, He gives life and He makes die.” So, make safety (to yourselves, but also to others) by Allah and His envoy the unbooked prophet who makes safety by Allah and His statements, and join/ follow him, perhaps you lead yourselves to guidance.
My personal note:
The Aya points that Muhammad upon him be peace was sent to all society that receives the message and the essence of the message is to make the person who receive the message safe through Allah and His messenger but also to make that person contribute to the safety of the whole environment around him not only to himself/ herself, but to everyone around. It is a message of safety and peace and Allah aims for humanity’s benefit from it in this life and the next.
