Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 6 Al-An'am, Ayat 125-125
فَمَنۡ يُّرِدِ اللّٰهُ اَنۡ يَّهۡدِيَهٗ يَشۡرَحۡ صَدۡرَهٗ لِلۡاِسۡلَامِۚ وَمَنۡ يُّرِدۡ اَنۡ يُّضِلَّهٗ يَجۡعَلۡ صَدۡرَهٗ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجًا كَاَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِى السَّمَآءِؕ كَذٰلِكَ يَجۡعَلُ اللّٰهُ الرِّجۡسَ عَلَى الَّذِيۡنَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ
﴿6:125﴾
(6:125) Thus, (it is a fact that) whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens
his breast for Islam;92 and whomsoever He wills to let go astray,
He causes his breast to become strait and constricted, as if he were climbing
towards the heaven. Thus Allah lays the abomination (of flight from and hatred
of Islam) on those who do not believe
Notes
92. 'To open someone's breast to Islam' means to make him feel fully convinced
of the truth of Islam and to remove all his doubts, hesitations and reluctance.
