when we read Quran? Is it to finish it or to ponder upon each and every Ayah and apply it on ourselves by

putting ourselves in the picture?

After clearly telling that the guidance is in Allah’s hands and He has promised to show the right path to

everyone, in the next Ayah Allah SWT is warning about the consequence of not following and accepting His

guidance.

When Allah SWT is telling us about the haram and the halal then we should take it because this is the short

ways which take one away from the guidance and the person follows his desires and not the way of Allah

SWT.

The misguided ones are causing themselves to go to the hell fire despite

all the guidance given by Allah SWT and the biggest damage they do to

themselves is to disobey Him and worship others and get attached to

someone other than Allah SWT.
