Astray

But whoever turns away from Allah, his angels, his books, his messengers, and the Last Day, has drifted into a deep and distant ruin.

4:136O ye who believe! Believe in Allah and His messenger and the Scripture which He hath revealed unto His messenger, and the Scripture which He revealed aforetime. Whoso disbelieveth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers and the Last Day, he verily hath wandered far astray.

Those who reject faith and turn others away from Allah’s path have strayed far.

4:167Lo! those who disbelieve and hinder (others) from the way of Allah, they verily have wandered far astray.

Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills.

14:4And We never sent a messenger save with the language of his folk, that he might make (the message) clear for them. Then Allah sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth whom He will. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

Do you wish to guide those whom Allah has led astray? Whoever Allah misguides, you will find no way for them.

4:88What aileth you that ye are become two parties regarding the hypocrites, when Allah cast them back (to disbelief) because of what they earned? Seek ye to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him thou (O MUhammad) canst not find a road.

39:36Will not Allah defend His slave? Yet they would frighten thee with those beside Him. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.

40:33A day when ye will turn to flee, having no preserver from Allah: and he whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.

Whoever goes astray does so to his own loss. You are not their keeper.

39:41Lo! We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture for mankind with truth. Then whosoever goeth right it is for his soul, and whosoever strayeth, strayeth only to its hurt. And thou art not a warder over them.

Even if you long for their guidance, Allah does not guide those He leaves to stray, and they will have no helpers.

16:37Even if thou (O Muhammad) desirest their right guidance, still Allah assuredly will not guide him who misleadeth. Such have no helpers.

30:29Nay, but those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge. Who is able to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? For such there are no helpers.

Whoever trades faith for disbelief has surely strayed from the right path.

2:108Or would ye question your messenger as Moses was questioned aforetime? He who chooseth disbelief instead of faith, verily he hath gone astray from a plain road.

But whoever turns away has strayed far.”

5:12Allah made a covenant of old with the Children of Israel and We raised among them twelve chieftains, and Allah said: Lo! I am with you. If ye establish worship and pay the poor-due, and believe in My messengers and support them, and lend unto Allah a kindly loan, surely I shall remit your sins, and surely I shall bring you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow. Whoso among you disbelieveth after this will go astray from a plain road.

Or do you think most of them hear or understand? They are like cattle, no, they are even more astray.

25:44Or deemest thou that most of them hear or understand? They are but as the cattle - nay, but they are farther astray?

See how they compare you to falsehoods, but they are lost and cannot find the way.

17:48See what similitudes they coin for thee, and thus are all astray, and cannot find a road!

Postponing sacred months is an act of disbelief that leads people further astray. They make a month sacred one year and profane it another, to match the number of months Allah made sacred, thus permitting what Allah has forbidden. Their evil deeds seem fair to them.

9:37Postponement (of a sacred month) is only an excess of disbelief whereby those who disbelieve are misled; they allow it one year and forbid it (another) year, that they may make up the number of the months which Allah hath hallowed, so that they allow that which Allah hath forbidden. The evil of their deeds is made fairseeming unto them. Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.

Whoever Allah leaves to stray, you will find no way for them.

4:143Swaying between this (and that), (belonging) neither to these nor to those. He whom Allah causeth to go astray, thou (O Muhammad) wilt not find a way for him:

13:33Is He Who is aware of the deserts of every soul (as he who is aware of nothing)? Yet they ascribe unto Allah partners. Say: Name them. Is it that ye would inform Him of something which He knoweth not in the earth? Or is it but a way of speaking? Nay but their contrivance is made seeming fair for those who disbelieve and they are kept from the right road. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide.
