Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (( Guidance for the God-fearing )) and reconciling this verse with His saying: (( Guidance for mankind ))
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
And His saying: means guidance by way of indication. The Qur'an itself does not guide with the guidance of success, but it guides with the guidance of indication , in another verse [Al-Baqarah 2:185] So what is the difference between this and that?
We say that as for it being guidance for mankind, this is the original principle: that the Qur'an can be a source of guidance for everyone. As for the addition of "guidance" to the God-fearing, it is because the God-fearing are those who benefited from it, so it became guidance for them. And who are the God-fearing? Those who carried out the commands of Allah and left off the prohibitions of Allah.
