By it, Allah guides those who follow what pleases Him to the ways
of Peace. He will bring them from the darkness to the light by His
permission, and guide them to a straight path. (Qur'an, 5:16)
That is Allah's guidance. He guides by it those of His servants He
wills. If they had associated others with Him, nothing they did
would have been of any use. (Qur'an, 6:88)
No self can believe except with Allah's permission. He places a
blight on those who do not use their intellect. (Qur'an, 10:100)
He (Musa) said, 'Our Lord is He Who gives each thing its created
form and then guides it.' (Qur'an, 20:50)
Even if there was a Qur'an which moved mountains, or split the
earth open or spoke to the dead...! On the contrary! The affair is
Allah's altogether. Do those who believe not know that if Allah
had wanted to He could have guided all mankind? Those who do
not believe will not cease to be struck by disaster for what they
have done--or a disaster will happen close to their homes--until
Allah's promise is fulfilled. Allah will not fail to keep His promise.
Qur'an, 13:31)
We said, 'Go down from it, every one of you! Then when guidance
comes to you from Me, those who follow My guidance will feel no
fear and will know no sorrow.' (Qur'an, 2:38)
Those who do not believe say, 'Why has a Sign not been sent down
to him from his Lord?' Say: 'Allah misguides whoever He wills
and guides to Himself all who turn to Him. (Qur'an, 13:27)
Did He not find you wandering and guide you? (Qur'an, 93:7)
He increases in guidance those who are already guided and gives
them their sense of duty. (Qur'an, 47:17)
Accordingly We have revealed to you a Spirit by Our command.
You had no idea of what the Book was, nor faith. Nonetheless We
have made it a Light by which We guide those of Our servants We
will. Truly you are guiding to a Straight Path. (Qur'an, 42:52)
