93 Preface وَلَو شاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُم أُمَّةً واحِدَةً وَلٰكِن يُضِلُّ مَن يَشاءُ وَيَهدي مَن يَشاءُ ۚ وَلَتُسأَلُنَّ عَمّا كُنتُم تَعمَلونَYusuf AliIf God so willed, He could make you all one people: But He leaves straying1 whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases: but ye shall certainly be called to account for all your actions.Cf. 14:4 and n. 1875. God’s Will and Plan, in allowing limited free will to man, is, not to force man’s will, but to give all guidance, and leave alone those who reject that guidance, in case they should repent and come back into Grace. But in all cases, insofar as we are given the choice, we shall be called to account for all our actions. “Leaving to stray” does not mean that we can do what we please. Our personal responsibility remains.
