The Holy Quran 7:186 — Surah Al-A'raf

Arabic text

مَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِىَ لَهُۥ ۚ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِى طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ

Translation

There is no guide for the one whom Allaah sends astray and He will leave them to wander blind (confused) in their rebellion. (Pride usually causes one to reject the truth, leaving one wandering astray.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Guidance and misguidance, everything is in the hand of Allah. If He does not will it, all the means of guidance would remain lying unused, and a person would derive benefit from nowhere. However, as His custom is, He grants tawfiq (divine enabling) for guidance only when the servant himself, by his own effort and choice, wishes to walk that path.
