Question:
The questioner says: You mentioned in the previous lesson, you mentioned in the previous lesson, the difference between the Quranic verse
And, [moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow itوَأَنَّ هَٰذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ
[Al-An'am 6:153]
and the verse regarding the path of those upon whom You have bestowed Your grace, and how the path was attributed to Him, the Exalted, once and to His believing servants another time. I hope you will clarify this for us again. May Allah benefit you.

Answer:
Yes, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, attributed the path to Himself, and this
a straight path - (53) The path of Allah, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earthصِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ صِرَاطِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:52-53]
He, Glorified and Exalted is He, attributed to Himself because He is the One who created it and sent it down; He is the One who created the path and sent it down. And because it leads to Him, Glorified and Exalted is He, it is His path, meaning the path that leads to Him. And He attributed it to His servants, the path of those upon whom He has bestowed His grace, because they are the ones who walk upon it. His righteous servants; He attributed it to them because they walk upon it, unlike the people of misguidance, for they do not walk upon the path of Allah, but rather they walk upon the deviant paths to which the devils of mankind and jinn call.
