186مَن يُضلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلا هادِيَ لَهُ ۚ وَيَذَرُهُم في طُغيانِهِم يَعمَهونَMuhammad AsadFor those whom God lets go astray, there is no guide; and He shall leave them in their overweening arrogance, blindly stumbling to and fro.1As in verse 178 above - and in many other places in the Qur'an - the expression "he whom God lets [or "causes to"] go astray" indicates the natural law instituted by God (sunnat Allah), whereby a wilful neglect of one's inborn, cognitive faculties unavoidably results in the, loss of all ethical orientation: that is, not an act of "predestination" but a result of one's own choice.
