All of you are astray except whom I have guided
In the realm of knowledge and spirituality, the concept of guidance takes center stage as a profound blessing bestowed upon us by Allah. Allah’s resounding proclamation in Hadith Qudsi: “All of you are astray except whom I have guided,” serves as a cornerstone for our understanding—a reminder that intelligence alone does not guarantee the compass of true guidance.
Acknowledging Divine Grace and Humility
Our journey into the depths of wisdom begins with a humble acknowledgment of the divine grace that illuminates our path. The life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) stands as a testament to this divine intervention. Allah, in His infinite mercy, found the Prophet unguided and extended the light of guidance to illuminate his path. This narrative underscores the transformative power of divine intervention, urging us to approach our own quest with patience and humility.
Beyond Intelligence: The Enigma of Divine Guidance
In the pursuit of knowledge, it is essential to recognize that even individuals with extraordinary intellect—professors, doctors, scientists—may remain unguided. The Quran presents this enigma, reminding us that guidance is a mercy, a divine gift that transcends intellectual prowess. Gratitude becomes the cornerstone of our journey—a grateful acknowledgment of being among the guided.
Humble Conveyance: Emulating the Prophet’s Approach
As torchbearers of divine messages, we are tasked with a sacred duty: to convey Allah’s wisdom with humility and compassion. Boasting about our guidance contradicts the very essence of humility. The Prophet’s approach serves as a guiding light—humble, patient, and compassionate. Instead of condemning individuals, let us condemn actions, aligning with the Quranic principle and fostering a more empathetic means of admonishment.
Quranic Echoes: “He Found You Unguided and He Guided You”
The Quranic verse (93:7) echoes through the corridors of time, resonating with personal journeys of transformation. “He found you unguided and He guided you” encapsulates the essence of our spiritual evolution. We, too, are recipients of this divine mercy, and our duty lies in conveying this guidance with sincerity and empathy.
