Allah says, addressing the idolators:
[فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا
تَعْبُدُونَ - مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَـتِنِينَ - إِلاَّ مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ
الْجَحِيمِ ]
(So, verily you and those whom you worship cannot lead astray, except those
who are predestined to burn in Hell!) meaning, `the only ones who will believe
what you say and follow your misguided ways of false worship are those who are
more misguided than you and are created for Hell.'
[لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لاَّ
يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لاَّ يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ ءَاذَانٌ
لاَّ يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَآ أُوْلَـئِكَ كَالأَنْعَـمِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ أُوْلَـئِكَ
هُمُ الْغَـفِلُونَ]
(They have hearts wherewith they understand not, and they have eyes wherewith
they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not (the truth). They are
like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless ones.) (7:179).
This is the parable of the people who follow the belief and ideas of Shirk,
disbelief and misguidance, as Allah says:
[إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى
قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ - يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ ]
(Certainly, you have different ideas. Turned aside therefrom is he who is
turned aside (by the decree of Allah).) (51:8-9) meaning, the one who is misled
by it is the one who is turned aside.
