unto Allah) one that leadeth to the Truth? Say: Allah leadeth to the Truth.
Is He Who leadeth to the Truth more deserving that He should be followed, or

Commentary
Laa yahiddiii – {he (himself) does not find the way}, it is an imperfect tense. Actually
this word is yah-tadii. One more word has come out from the same which
is ‘ahtadaa’. ‘Ahtadaa’ means “to find the way”. Laa yahtadii (laa yahiddiii) means “he does not find
the way”.
It is
commanded: Your Elders, Wisemen, Priests, Monks, the Hand of any religious
order, spiritual Guides and Brahmans etc. can do nothing at their own. The Guidance
is not in their power. However, after getting Guidance from God Almighty, they
can guide others, not themselves.
The Children
of Israel had faith in their Priests and Monks that they were their Gods. The Christians
said that Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) is their God. Other idolaters
determined that their religious Scholars were their Doers. They all went astray.
Those entire people and particularly Muslims are being warned in this verse
that their judgment is false. Except Allah Almighty; there is none; who may have
power to give something to any other, to snatch anything from any individual,
to cause to die or live, and guide unto the Straight Path.
There is
neither any guide, nor leader and nor any director, and nor can be anyone save
Allah Almighty. It is the Truth, remaining all is self-invented. Our Lord! Show
and lead us unto the Straight Path. Amen.
