Tawba 115-116
115- ALLAH DOES NOT MISGUIDE PEOPLE AFTER HE HAS GUIDED THEM TO THE RIGHT PATH, BEFORE SHOWING THEM WHAT THEY SHOULD PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM, FOR INDEED ALLAH KNOWS ALL THINGS.
116- TO ALLAH BELONGS THE KINGDOM OF THE HEAVENS AND EARTH, HE GIVES LIFE AND DEATH, AND YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ALLY AND SUPPORTER OTHER THAN HIM.
Allah the Highest does not judge people as being misguided before giving them a chance and sending them guidance, which shows them what they should protect themselves from, that is the wrong they are doing. This happened with the people of Lot concerning their homosexuality, and the people of Shoib concerning their cheating in buying and selling, and to others concerning Idle-worshipping, etc.
Allah the Highest shows the way to people first, and after sending prophets and messengers carrying guidance. Then Allah the Highest allows people a free choice between the right and the wrong. Allah the Highest said: “AND WE DO NOT PUNISH UNLESS WE SEND A MESSENGER”. (S: 17 A: 15)
One has to see the right and wrong and know both, so that the choice will be clear and the reward or punishment will be deserved. Allah the Highest said: “SO THAT ALLAH MAY DESTROY THOSE WHO WERE TO PERISH WITH CLEAR EVIDENCE, AND LET LIVE THOSE WHO LIVED ON CLEAR EVIDENCE, AND ALLAH HEARS AND KNOWS ALL THINGS”. (S: 8 A: 42)
Allah the Highest punishes us for doing wrong when we are aware and know what we are doing. The sin has to be earned and acquired; it may not be done through error, compulsion, or by mistake, but with one’s full intention.
In Ayah 116 Allah the Highest is reminding us again that everything in this world belongs to Him, and that life and death are in His hand. Allah the Highest said: “SAY: ALLAH THE SOVEREIGN OF THE KINGDOM, YOU GIVE SOVEREIGNTY TO WHOM YOU WILL AND TAKE SOVEREIGNTY AWAY FROM WHOM YOU WILL, YOU EXALT WHOM YOU WILL AND HUMILIATE WHOM YOU WILL. ALL GOODNESS IS IN YOUR HANDS, YOU HAVE POWER OVER ALL THINGS * YOU CAUSE THE NIGHT TO PASS THROUGH THE DAY, AND CAUSE THE DAY TO PASS THROUGH THE NIGHT, YOU BRING FORTH THE LIVING FROM THE DEAD AND YOU BRING FORTH THE DEAD FROM THE LIVING, AND PROVIDE WHOM YOU WILL WITHOUT LIMIT”. (S: 3 A: 26-27)
If the believers take any Ally and Supporter instead of Allah the Highest, they will be giving up the ultimate protection and Ally, for the protection and alliance of those who cannot protect themselves.
