Aya 108
108
قُل يا أَيُّهَا النّاسُ قَد جاءَكُمُ الحَقُّ مِن رَبِّكُم ۖ فَمَنِ اهتَدىٰ فَإِنَّما يَهتَدي لِنَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّما يَضِلُّ عَلَيها ۖ وَما أَنا عَلَيكُم بِوَكيلٍ

Yusuf Ali

Say: “O ye men! Now Truth hath reached you from your Lord! those who receive guidance, do so for the good of their own souls; those who stray, do so to their own loss: and I am not (set) over you to arrange your affairs.”1
  • The Furqan, the Criterion between right and wrong, has been sent to us from God. If we accept guidance, it is not as if we confer favours on those who bring us guidance. They suffer unselfishly for us, in order that we may be guided for our own good. On the other hand, if we reject it, it is our own loss, We have a certain amount of free will, and the responsibility is ours and cannot be shifted to the Teachers sent I by God.
