Salam, the verse you’re referring to is likely Surah Al-Imran, Verse 73:
“…Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.” (Quran 28:56)
Or perhaps Surah Al-Rad, Verse 27:
“…And Allah guides those who seek guidance and protects them, while the wrongdoers will have no protectors.” (Quran 13:27)
However, the verse that explicitly mentions God guiding and misguiding whom He wills is likely Surah Al-Furqan, Verse 2:
“…He [God] guides whom He wills and misguides whom He wills, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.” (Quran 25:2)
Let’s delve into the explanation of this verse.
In Islamic theology, this verse is often understood within the context of God’s divine decree (qadr) and human free will. Here are some key points to consider:
1. God’s Sovereignty: Allah is the All-Powerful, All-Knowing Creator, and His will is supreme. He guides and misguides whom He wills, and His decisions are based on His infinite wisdom.
2. Human Free Will: Humans have been given the gift of free will, allowing us to make choices in life. However, our choices are still subject to God’s divine decree.
3. Guidance and Misguidance: God guides those who seek guidance, are sincere, and make an effort to follow His path. On the other hand, He may misguide those who reject faith, are stubborn, or insist on following their own desires.
4. Justice and Mercy: God’s guidance and misguidance are not arbitrary. They are based on His justice and mercy. Those who are guided are shown mercy, while those who are misguided are subject to God’s justice.
It’s essential to note that this verse should not be taken as a justification for fatalism or complacency. Rather, it emphasizes the importance of seeking guidance, striving to follow God’s path, and trusting in His wisdom.
As the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“Take benefit of five before five: Your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied, and your life before your death.” (Narrated by Ibn Abbas)
May Allah guide us all to the straight path and grant us wisdom to understand His divine decree. Ameen.

If those who don’t seek guidance, are stubborn and insist on following their previous believes then they are already “Gumrah”. So who misguided them? If not God then Allah don’t misguides and If he misguided them then question still remains why?

This is a profound question that delves into the complexities of free will, guidance, and Allah’s wisdom.
In Islam, we believe that Allah has created humans with free will, granting us the ability to choose between right and wrong.However, Allah also guides us through various means, such as the Quran, the Prophet’s (SAW) teachings, and our own conscience.
The concept of “Gumrah” (misguidance) is nuanced. While Allah does not actively misguide individuals, He may withdraw His guidance from those who persistently reject it or insist on following their own desires.
The Quran states:“Indeed, We guided him to the Way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful.” (Quran 76:3)
This verse indicates that Allah provides guidance, but it is up to the individual to accept or reject it.
Regarding the question of why Allah might withdraw His guidance, we can refer to another Quranic verse:
“And when they deviated, Allah deviated their hearts.” (Quran 61:5)
This verse suggests that when individuals consistently choose to disobey Allah’s commands and follow their own desires, Allah may withdraw His guidance, allowing them to continue on their misguided path.
-
Indeed, We guided him to the Way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful.” (Quran 76:3)
according to this verse humans have free will and according to the verse I posted, Allah distracts whomever He wants to which is contradicting this verse.
And when they deviated, Allah deviated their hearts.” (Quran 61:5)
and this verse however is talking about who? Ig the people Hazrat musa preach to. But still if they deviated which means they were distracted and then allah distracted then It means it wasn’t Allah who distracted them which is in contradiction with the verse i posted too.
-
sorry, it is little difficult for me to understand your argument. Can you write it again?
-
Indeed, We guided him to the Way, be he grateful or be he ungrateful.” (Quran 76:3)
According to this verse humans have free will. Allah guided them and it’s upto them how they act.
But the verse i posted says “Allah guides or misguides whomever he wants to” In these two verses the complete opposite is being said.
Allah either misguides people or he don’t. If he does then Why? and if he don’t, then what about the verse i posted.

This apparent paradox is resolved when we understand the concept of guidance (hidayah) in Islam.
The first verse (Quran 76:3) emphasizes human free will. Allah provides guidance, but individuals choose how to respond.
The second verse you mentioned (not explicitly quoted, but likely Quran 16:93 or 74:31) suggests that Allah guides or misguides whom He wills.
The key to reconciling these verses lies in understanding the types of guidance:
1. General guidance (hidayah ‘ammah): Allah provides general guidance to all humanity through His signs, revelations, and messengers. This type of guidance is available to everyone.
2. Specific guidance (hidayah khassah): Allah also provides specific guidance to individuals, based on their choices, intentions, and actions. This type of guidance is tailored to each person’s unique circumstances.
When Allah guides or misguides whom He wills, it refers to specific guidance. Allah may choose to guide someone who sincerely seeks Him or withhold guidance from someone who deliberately rejects faith.
However, this doesn’t negate human free will. Individuals still choose their actions, and Allah’s guidance or misguidance is a response to those choices.To illustrate:
Imagine a person, let’s call him Ali, who is seeking guidance. Allah provides Ali with general guidance through the Quran and His messengers. However, Ali’s choices and intentions determine whether he receives specific guidance or misguidance.
If Ali sincerely seeks Allah and follows His commandments, Allah may provide him with specific guidance, helping him navigate life’s challenges.
Conversely, if Ali deliberately rejects faith or engages in sinful behavior, Allah may withhold specific guidance, allowing Ali to experience the consequences of his choices.
In summary, both verses are correct. Allah provides general guidance to all, while specific guidance or misguidance is based on individual choices and intentions.
