Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about some verses in some surahs. He says: regarding the verse
And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then, [O Muhammad], would you compel the people in order that they become believers?وَلَوْ شَاءَ رَبُّكَ لَآمَنَ مَن فِي الْأَرْضِ كُلُّهُمْ جَمِيعًا أَفَأَنتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ
[Yunus 10:99]
?

Answer:
Yes, the verse is clear that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) misguides whom He wills and guides whom He wills, but He has given the servant a choice and the ability to perform worship. So if he abandons it while he is able to perform it, he is held accountable. But if he abandons it because he is unable to perform it, then Allah
Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacityلَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
. Yes.
