37
وَإِنَّهُم لَيَصُدّونَهُم عَنِ السَّبيلِ وَيَحسَبونَ أَنَّهُم مُهتَدونَ

Ali Unal

Such devils certainly bar them from the way (of truth). Yet they think (in themselves) that they are rightly guided.1
  • Right or true guidance is the guidance of the Qur’ān. So, however rightly-guided those who follow other ways may regard themselves to be, they have, in reality, strayed far from the truth. The Qur’ān severely warns such people in 18: 103–104: Say: “Shall We inform you who are the greatest losers in respect of their deeds? Those whose endeavor has been wasted in this world (because it is directed only to this-worldly ends, and so it is bound to be wasted hereafter also) but who themselves reckon that they are doing good.” (See corresponding note 32.)
