Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: In the statement of Allah the Exalted,[Al-An'am 6:82], if a Muslim has not wronged himself by shirk (associating partners with Allah), will he attain the security and guidance promised in the verse?
Answer:
Absolute security is a type that only the believers who are perfect in their faith attain; it is absolute security in this world and the Hereafter. The second type is security in general. There is a difference between absolute security and security in general. The believer has security in general, even if he is a sinner other than in shirk (associating partners with Allah). Even if he has security in general, meaning he has some security, however little, unlike the disbeliever who has no security at all, and the one who associates partners with Allah who has no security at all.
As for the believer, he has security, either complete security or security less than that, absolute security or absolute security. This is what Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) promised,[Al-An'am 6:82], meaning that they are safe from shirk (associating partners with Allah); they have absolute security, or absolute security, according to the strength or weakness of their faith. Yes.
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: In the statement of Allah the Exalted,
They who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided.
