Reconciling the Two Verses on Allah's Guidance and the Messenger's Guidance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Muhammad says, and the viewer says: "Those who..." in the words of Allah the Exalted[An-Nahl 16:104] and there is another verse that says [Al-Qasas 28:56] What is the reconciliation between these two verses?
Answer:
There is no difference between them, and praise be to Allah that guidance is in the hand of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He; He guides whom He wills and leads astray whom He wills. As for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he is merely a conveyor of what is from Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Allah, Exalted and Majestic, says to him:[Ali 'Imran 3:128]. So the entire matter is in the hand of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is merely a conveyor of what Allah revealed to him. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
The listener Muhammad says, and the viewer says: "Those who..." in the words of Allah the Exalted
Indeed, those who do not believe in the verses of Allah - Allah will not guide them, and for them is a painful punishment.
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ لَا يَهْدِيهِمُ اللَّهُ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌIndeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِالْمُهْتَدِينَAnswer:
There is no difference between them, and praise be to Allah that guidance is in the hand of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He; He guides whom He wills and leads astray whom He wills. As for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he is merely a conveyor of what is from Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Allah, Exalted and Majestic, says to him:
Not for you, [O Muhammad, but for Allah], is the decision whether He should [cut them down] or forgive them or punish them, for indeed, they are wrongdoers.
لَيْسَ لَكَ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ شَيْءٌ أَوْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَوْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ ظَالِمُونَThe presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
