Surah 92 Al-Layl, Ayat 12-12

اِنَّ عَلَيۡنَا لَـلۡهُدٰىۖ‏ ﴿92:12﴾

(92:12) Surely it is for Us to show the Right Way,7


Notes

7. That is, Allah as the Creator of man has on the basis of His wisdom, His justice and His mercy, taken on Himself the responsibility not to leave him uninformed in the world, but to tell him what is the right way and what are the wrong ways, what is good and what is evil, what is lawful and what is unlawful, what attitude and conduct will make him an obedient servant and what attitude and conduct will make him a disobedient servant. This same thing has been expressed in Surah An-Nahl, thus: Allah has taken upon Himself to show the right way, when there are also crooked ways. (verse 9 Also see E.N. 9 of Surah An-Nahl).
