Does God guide believers to the right pathway while seal the hearts of those who disbelieve?

 

 

God brings into the right (straight) pathway those people who sincerely believe in Him, the angels, all of the holy books including Al-Quran (along with the proph) and the Day of Judgement. On the other hand, He seals the hearts of those who do not believe in those and become misguided by the evil ones.

 

Verses 1-7 of Chapter 2:
Alif. Lam. Mim. This is the Book of Allah: there is no doubt about it. It is guidance to Godfearing people, who believe in the unseen, establish the Salats and expend (in Our way) out of what We have bestowed on them; who believe in the Book We have sent down to you (i.e. the Qur'an) and in the Books sent down before you, and firmly believe in the Hereafter. Such people are on the right way from their Lord and such are truly successful. As to those who reject Faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe. Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur).

Verse 57 of Chapter 2:

Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (for ever).

Verses 87-88 of Chapter 2:

And We gave Moses the Book and sent after him a train of Messengers in succession. Then We sent Jesus, son of Mary, with clear Signs and supported him with the Holy Spirit. Then how is it that whenever a Messenger came to you wish that which did not suit your lusts, you grew rebellious against him, and repudiated some and slew others. They say, "Our hearts are secure." Nay, the fact is that Allah has cursed them for their disbelief; so they are little disposed to believe.

Verses 87-88 of Chapter 10:

Then after him (Noah) We sent (many) messengers to their peoples: they brought them Clear Signs, but they would not believe what they had already rejected beforehand. Thus do We seal the hearts of the transgressors.

Verse 56 of Chapter 28:

Surely (O Prophet) you cannot guide whom you love, but Allah guides whom He pleases, and He knows best the followers of the right way.
