The mention of the misguided who are doomed is followed by mention of the
righteous who are blessed. They are those who believe firmly in their hearts and
confirm their faith by their actions, doing all kinds of righteous deeds and
avoiding evil actions. Because of this, they will inherit dwellings in the lofty
ranks of the gardens of Paradise. So Allah tells us that He sends those astray
and guides these, and says:
[إِنَّ اللَّهَ
يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ]
(Verily, Allah does what He wills.)
[مَن كَانَ يَظُنُّ
أَن لَّن يَنصُرَهُ اللَّهُ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالاٌّخِرَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ بِسَبَبٍ
إِلَى السَّمَآءِ ثُمَّ لْيَقْطَعْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ هَلْ يُذْهِبَنَّ كَيْدُهُ مَا
يَغِيظُ - وَكَذلِكَ أَنزَلْنَـهُ ءَايَـتٍ بَيِّنَـتٍ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن
يُرِيدُ ]
(15. Whoever thinks that Allah will not help him in this world and in the
Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope to the ceiling and let him strangle
himself. Then let him see whether his plan will remove that whereat he rages!)
(16. Thus have We sent it down as clear Ayat, and surely, Allah guides whom He
wills.)
