[39:23] God has sent down a scripture of the best Hadith being consistent to each other. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it (Quran), then their skins and their hearts soften up to God’s message.

God chooses to Himself whomever He wills, and He guides to Himself (wa-yah’dee ilayhi) whoever turns.

[42:52] And thus that we have inspired to you (Muhammad) an inspiration by our command. You had not been to know what the scripture was nor was the faith.

[63:6] It is same for them whether you ask forgiveness for them, or you do not ask forgiveness for them, God will not forgive them. Indeed, God does not guide (inna allaha laa-yah’dee) the people of the disobedient.

[64:6] That is of that there had been to come to them their messengers with the clear proofs, then they said, “Does the human being guide us (a-basharun yah’duunanaa)?” So, they had disbelieved and had turned away. And God has been self-sufficient. And God is Rich, Praiseworthy.

[64:11] No disaster has stricken except by permission of God. And whoever believes in God, He guides his heart (yah’di qablahu). And God is knower of all things.

And that may say those in their hearts there is a disease (hypocrites) and the disbelievers, “What has God meant by this allegory?” Thus, God misguides whomever He wills, and He guides whomever He wills (wa-yah’dee man yashaau). And none knows your Lord’s soldiers except He. And it is not except a reminder for the human race.

[93:7] And He had found you (Muhammad) astray, then He has guided (fa-hadaa).

Those whom God made them imams in the world guide by His command and had been steadfast and had done to ascertain with His revelations, while those who have followed their own desires without knowledge, God has let them go astray. He has created the human being and has guided him to the path to be grateful or to be ungrateful. He has sent messengers with the clear proofs to guide him, while He does not punish any nation without sending messengers, but the people have turned to disobedient disregarding reminders, and we do not see any exception to the people of the present generation.

God has confirmed that the perfect religion belongs to Him and has commanded us to examine the best words from His guidance to guide ourselves to a straight path, while He has given us a scripture of best hadith to soften up our skins and hearts to His message being it an indication of His guidance that we may know by ourselves whether we are guided.
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless.
