Led Astray

Had Allah willed, He could have made you one community, but He leaves some to stray and guides others.

16:93Had Allah willed He could have made you (all) one nation, but He sendeth whom He will astray and guideth whom He will, and ye will indeed be asked of what ye used to do.

42:8Had Allah willed, He could have made them one community, but Allah bringeth whom He will into His mercy. And the wrong-doers have no friend nor helper.

Allah guides whom He wills and leaves others to wander astray.

6:39Those who deny Our revelations are deaf and dumb in darkness. Whom Allah will sendeth astray, and whom He will He placeth on a straight path.

Whomever Allah wills to guide, He expands their heart to submission. But whomever He wills to leave astray, He makes their chest tight and constricted, as if they were climbing into the sky. Thus, Allah places defilement upon those who do not believe.

6:125And whomsoever it is Allah's will to guide, He expandeth his bosom unto the Surrender, and whomsoever it is His Will to send astray, He maketh his bosom close and narrow as if he were engaged in sheer ascent. Thus Allah layeth ignominy upon those who believe not.

We assigned them companions who made their past and future deeds seem appealing to them. Thus, the fate of earlier communities, both jinn and humans, was sealed upon them, for they were truly lost.

41:25And We assigned them comrades (in the world), who made their present and their past fairseeming unto them. And the Word concerning nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before them hath effect for them. Lo! they were ever losers.

On the Day He gathers them all, He will say, “O assembly of jinn! You have misled many among humanity.”

6:128In the day when He will gather them together (He will say): O ye assembly of the jinn! Many of humankind did ye seduce. And their adherents among humankind will say: Our Lord! We enjoyed one another, but now we have arrived at the appointed term which Thou appointedst for us. He will say: Fire is your home. Abide therein for ever, save him whom Allah willeth (to deliver). Lo! thy Lord is Wise, Aware.

Whoever Allah leaves astray, none can guide them. He leaves them wandering blindly in their defiance.

1:7The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.

2:26Lo! Allah disdaineth not to coin the similitude even of a gnat. Those who believe know that it is the truth from their Lord; but those who disbelieve say: What doth Allah wish (to teach) by such a similitude? He misleadeth many thereby, and He guideth many thereby; and He misleadeth thereby only miscreants;

4:88What aileth you that ye are become two parties regarding the hypocrites, when Allah cast them back (to disbelief) because of what they earned? Seek ye to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him thou (O MUhammad) canst not find a road.

4:143Swaying between this (and that), (belonging) neither to these nor to those. He whom Allah causeth to go astray, thou (O Muhammad) wilt not find a way for him:

6:39Those who deny Our revelations are deaf and dumb in darkness. Whom Allah will sendeth astray, and whom He will He placeth on a straight path.

6:125And whomsoever it is Allah's will to guide, He expandeth his bosom unto the Surrender, and whomsoever it is His Will to send astray, He maketh his bosom close and narrow as if he were engaged in sheer ascent. Thus Allah layeth ignominy upon those who believe not.

7:178He whom Allah leadeth, he indeed is led aright, while he whom Allah sendeth astray - they indeed are losers.

7:186Those whom Allah sendeth astray, there is no guide for them. He leaveth them to wander blindly on in their contumacy.

17:97And he whom Allah guideth, he is led aright; while, as for him whom He sendeth astray, for them thou wilt find no protecting friends beside Him, and We shall assemble them on the Day of Resurrection on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf; their habitation will be hell; whenever it abateth, We increase the flame for them.

42:44He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no protecting friend after Him. And thou (Muhammad) wilt see the evil-doers when they see the doom, (how) they say: Is there any way of return?

74:31We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.

But as for those who deny the Hereafter, We have made their deeds seem appealing to them, so they wander blindly.

27:4Lo! as for those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their works fairseeming unto them so that they are all astray.

They are the ones who will face the worst punishment, and in the Hereafter, they will be the greatest losers.

27:5Those are they for whom is the worst of punishment, and in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.

They will say, “Our Lord, our misfortune overwhelmed us, and we were a people astray.

23:106They will say: Our Lord! Our evil fortune conquered us, and we were erring folk.

Those who reject Our signs are deaf and blind, lost in darkness. Allah guides whom He wills and leaves others to wander astray.

6:39Those who deny Our revelations are deaf and dumb in darkness. Whom Allah will sendeth astray, and whom He will He placeth on a straight path.
