[quote][quote][quote]Dear Minara,

please refer to verse 26 of sura Baqara.[/quote]

Salam,

Verse 2:26 does not say that Almighty Allah misguides anyone. The end of the concerned verse says '"What did GOD mean by such an ALLEGORY?" He misleads many THEREBY, and guides many thereby. BUT HE NEVER MISLEADS THEREBY EXCEPT THE WICKED'.

2:272

“You are not responsible for guiding anyone. GOD is the only one who guides WHOEVER CHOOSES (to be guided)….”

10:25

GOD invites to the abode of peace, and GUIDES WHOEVER WILLS (to be guided) in a straight path.

16:93

Had GOD willed, He could have made you one congregation.  But He sends astray whoever chooses to go astray, and HE GUIDES WHOEVER WISHES TO BE GUIDED. You will surely be asked about everything you have done.

All The Above Verses Say That Anyone Can Go Astray  Who Chooses Himself To Go Astray And Not The Ones Whom God Himself Leads Astray. Please read the following verses once again.

14:4

"We did not send any messenger except (to preach) in the tongue of his people, in order to clarify things for them. GOD THEN SENDS ASTRAY WHOEVER WILLS (to be led astray), and guides whoever wills (to be guided). He is the Almighty, the Most Wise."

The evidence that God means that the ones who are led astray are those who choose by themselves to go astray (and not the ones whom God Himself leads astray) is given in the verse immediately preceding verse 4:

14:3

"They are the ones who give priority to this life over the Hereafter, repel from the way of GOD, and seek to make it crooked; they have gone far astray."

It is clear here that God is confirming that these people are going astray out of their OWN choice, it follows then in verse 4 where we are told that God leads astray those who choose themselves to go astray.
