The Holy Quran 7:178 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

مَن يَهْدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ ٱلْمُهْتَدِى ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ

Translation

Only the one whom Allaah guides is (truly) rightly guided. As for those whom Allaah sends astray, they are the losers (in both worlds. Knowledge without Taqwa leads to error).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Mere knowledge is of no use: knowledge and learning too benefit a person only when, through the guidance and support of Allah, he is granted tawfiq (divine enabling) to act in accordance with sound knowledge.
