This Is My Faith - Al-fatlawi, Ali - الصفحة ١٢٠ - are in the Hands of Allah’?
(As for those who strive in Us, We surely guide them to Our paths…)٢٩;٦٩.
Anwar: Now we know the general and specific guidance, but what does it mean that ‘aberration is in the Hands of Allah’?
Hasan: The implication of (Allah sendeth whom He will astray) is deprivation from the specific guidance only and not granting success to those with ugly deeds such as injustice and dissipation. This is also evident in the words of the Glorious Allah:
(And Allah guideth not wrong doing folk)٢;٢٥٨.
(And He misleadeth thereby only miscreants)٢;٢٦.
There are still many other Holy Verses in the Noble Quran that demonstrate deprivation of some people from the specific guidance as well as the Divine success and prosperity for their ugly deeds.
Anwar: Thank you very much indeed. It is completely obvious for me now!
