مَّنِ ٱهۡتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهۡتَدِي لِنَفۡسِهِۦۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيۡهَاۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٞ وِزۡرَ أُخۡرَىٰۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبۡعَثَ رَسُولٗا

15. Whosoever came to guidance (40), he came to guidance for his own good, and whosoever became misguided, he became misguided for his own evil. And no soul-bearing burden will bear the burden (41) of another. And We do not torment until We have sent our messenger (42).

97. And he whom Allah guides, he is on the straight path, and he whom He leads astray, then you will find no supporter for them but Him (200).

Whenever it will become to be extinguished, We shall make it to blow in flames vigorously' (202).

37. And Musa said, ‘My Lord knows well who brought guidance (103) from Him and for whom will be the home of the Hereafter. Undoubtedly, the unjust reach not to the goal’. (104)

إِنَّكَ لَا تَهۡدِي مَنۡ أَحۡبَبۡتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ

57. and they say, if we follow guidance with you we shall be taken from our land by the people (147)” Have We not established for them a place in the safe Sanctuary towards which all kinds of fruits are brought through, a provision from us but most of them know not. (148)

23.Allah has revealed the best Book that is alike from beginning to the end (in beauty, truth and fairness), having repeated description (65) (promise of reward and award of punishment) at which do shiver (66) the skins of those who fear their Lord. Their skins and hearts soften towards the rememberance of Allah. This is the guidance of Allah. He guides therewith whom He Pleases (67).

41. Undoubtedly, We have revealed upon you the Book of guidance (101) for mankind with Truth (102) Then, whoso gets its guidance that is for his own good and whoso errs, he errs for his own loss (103), And you are not but a custodian (104) over them.

Surah Name : Az-Zumar   Surah Number : 39   Ayat Number: 41

أَوۡ تَقُولَ لَوۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هَدَىٰنِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ

57. Or, lest someone should say: Surely, had Allah guided me (144), I would have been among the pious ones".

Surah Name : Az-Zumar   Surah Number : 39   Ayat Number: 57

أَوۡ تَقُولُواْ لَوۡ أَنَّآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيۡنَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ لَكُنَّآ أَهۡدَىٰ مِنۡهُمۡۚ فَقَدۡ جَآءَكُم بَيِّنَةٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٞۚ فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّن كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَصَدَفَ عَنۡهَاۗ سَنَجۡزِي ٱلَّذِينَ يَصۡدِفُونَ عَنۡ ءَايَٰتِنَا سُوٓءَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَصۡدِفُونَ

157. Or, lest you should say: "If the Book had been revealed to us, then We would have been better guided (369) than them". So, there has come to you a luminous argument from your Lord, and guidance and mercy (370). Who is then more unjust (371), than he who belies the signs of Allah and turns his face (372), from them? Soon We shall punish those with great torment (373), who turn away their faces from Our signs, the recompense for turning away their faces.

Surah Name : Al-Anam   Surah Number : 6   Ayat Number: 157

ثُمَّ ءَاتَيۡنَا مُوسَى ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ تَمَامًا عَلَى ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحۡسَنَ وَتَفۡصِيلٗا لِّكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٗ لَّعَلَّهُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمۡ يُؤۡمِنُونَ
