Araf 178

178- THOSE ALLAH GUIDES, ARE THE RIGHTLY GUIDED, AS FOR THE MISGUIDED, INDEED THEY ARE THE LOSERS.

There has been misguidance on Earth ever since Satan vowed to mislead mankind.  Allah the Highest sent man down to Earth and promised to send him guidance always, which was done through Allah’s prophets, messengers and books.  Allah the Highest said: “WE SAID: “GET DOWN FROM IT ALL OF YOU.  WHEN YOU RECEIVE GUIDANCE FROM ME, THOSE WHO FOLLOW MY GUIDANCE, THERE WILL BE NO FEAR UPON THEM, NEITHER WILL THEY BE SADDENED”. (S: 2 A: 38)

We have our wishes, feelings, and desires, which are inside us, they may guide or misguide us.  Allah the Highest said: “AND THE SOUL AND HE WHO CREATED IT * AND INSPIRED IT, ITS WICKEDNESS, AND ITS PIETY * SUCCEEDS HE WHO PURIFIES IT * AND FAILED IS HE WHO MADE IT SINFUL”.  (S: 91 A: 7-10)

Allah the Highest also said: “THE LOVE OF PLEASURES HAS BEEN BEAUTIFIED FOR MANKIND; OF WOMEN, CHILDREN, HEAPS OF GOLD AND SILVER, THE BRANDED HORSES, CATTLE AND TILLED LAND.  THESE ARE THE PLEASURES OF THE LOWER LIFE, BUT WITH ALLAH IS THE EXCELLENT DESTINY”.  (S: 3 A: 14)

Allah the Highest did not leave us without guidance, He sent us, his prophets and messengers and His books.  Those who follow this guidance and do right, Allah the Highest guides them even more.  Allah the Highest said: “THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND DO GOOD DEEDS, THEIR LORD GUIDES THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR BELIEF”.  (S: 10 A: 9)

Also, Allah the Highest said: “BE RIGHTEOUS AND PROTECT YOURSELVES FROM ALLAH’S DISPLEASURE, AND ALLAH TEACHES YOU, FOR ALLAH KNOWS ALL THINGS”.  (S: 2 A: 283)

And Allah the Highest also said: “AND THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE RIGHT GUIDANCE, HE (ALLAH) GIVES THEM MORE GUIDANCE AND GIVES THEM THEIR PIETY”.  (S: 47 A: 17)

Allah’s Guidance is there, and following this guidance is rewarded by being guided more.  Follow the guidance, and more insight and understanding comes. Seeing what others do not see, and understanding what others do not understand, understanding the reasons and aims of Allah’s words and commands.
