The Holy Quran 16:9 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ قَصْدُ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَمِنْهَا جَآئِرٌ ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ لَهَدَىٰكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Translation

On Allaah (and on no one else) is (the responsibility to lead people to) the straight path (Islaam) while there are those (ways and people) who deviate from it. If He wills He could guide (to Islaam) all of you collectively (However, He does not will this for reasons He knows best).
