Sura 51
Aya 9
9
يُؤفَكُ عَنهُ مَن أُفِكَ

Yusuf Ali

Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.1
  • Some Commentators draw from this a rigid doctrine of Calvinistic Predestination or Determinism, which I do not think is fairly deducible from the words. “Yu'fak” should I think be translated “will be or would be deluded”, meaning “have the wish or desire to be”, and not “must necessarily be deluded by eternal predestination”. The word occurs in many places in the Qur-ān: e.g., Cf. 5:75, or 9:30.
