Who are the Guided ones?

SHAFAQNA – Ayah 37 of Surah Al-Nahl says: Even if you are eager to guide them, God does not guide someone who misleads others and these will have no supporters.

Points

1. This Ayah tells the Prophet (PBUH) that do not worry about them because their hearts are sealed by God and cannot be guided.
2. The Prophet (PBUH) is infallible, has no weakness and has the best ethics but still some do not accept it.
3. God will not guide those who chose to go astray and insist in committing sins, as a consequence the doors of guidance will not open for them.

Messages

1. Human being sometimes reaches a point that cannot be guided in this world or hereafter.
2. The preacher must know that there are some groups who will not accept any logic. Therefore, it cannot be expected that all people be believers.
3. Some people will not be eligible to have intercession on their behalf in the hereafter.
