ASTRAY:<br />

2:198 - It is no crime in you if ye seek of the bounty of your Lord (during Pilgrimage). Then when ye<br />

pour down from (Mount) Arafat celebrate the praises of Allah at the Sacred Monument and<br />

celebrate His praises as He has directed you even though before this ye went astray.<br />

219220221<br />

221 Certain arrogant tribes living in Mecca used not to go to Arafat with the crowd but to stop short at Muzdalifa. They are<br />

rebuked for their arrogance and told that they must perform all the rites like the rest of the pilgrims. There is equality<br />

in Islam. (2.198)<br />

3:69 - It is the wish of a section of the People of the Book to lead you astray. But they shall lead<br />

astray (not you) but themselves and they do not perceive!<br />

3:90 - But those who reject faith after they accepted it and then go on adding to their defiance of<br />

faith never will their repentance be accepted; for they are those who have (of set purpose)<br />

gone astray.<br />

4:60 - Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who declare that they believe in the revelations that<br />

have come to thee and to those before thee? Their (real) wish is to resort together for<br />

judgment (in their disputes) to the Evil One though they were ordered to reject him. But<br />

Satan's wish is to lead them astray far away (from the Right).<br />

4:88 What aileth you that ye are become two parties regarding the hypocrites, when Allah cast<br />

them back (to disbelief) because of what they earned? Seek ye to guide him whom Allah hath<br />

sent astray? He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him thou (O Muhammad) canst not find a<br />

road.<br />

4:113 - But for the Grace of Allah to thee and His Mercy a party of them would certainly have<br />

plotted to lead thee astray. But (in fact) they will only lead their own souls astray and to thee<br />

they can do no harm in the least. For Allah hath sent down to thee the Book and wisdom and<br />

taught thee what thou knewest not (before); and great is the grace of Allah unto thee.<br />

4:116 - Lo! Allah pardoneth not that partners should be ascribed unto him. He pardoneth all save<br />

that to whom He will. Whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah hath wandered far astray.<br />

4:119 - And surely I will lead them astray, and surely I will arouse desires in them, and surely I will<br />

command them and they will cut the cattle's ears, and surely I will command them and they<br />

will change Allah's creation. Whoso chooseth Satan for a patron instead of Allah is verily a<br />

loser and his loss is manifest.<br />

7:175 - Relate to them the story of the man to whom We sent our signs but he passed them by: so<br />

satan followed him up and he went astray. 1149<br />

1149 Commentators differ whether this story or parable refers to a particular individual, and if so, to whom. The story of<br />

Balaam the seer, who was called out by Israel's enemies to curse Israel, but who blessed Israel instead, (Num. xxii.,<br />

xxiii., xxiv,) is quite different. It is better to take the parable in general sense. There are men, of talents and position, to<br />

whom great opportunities of spiritual insight come, but they perversely pass them by. Satan sees his opportunity and<br />

catches them up. Instead of rising higher in the spiritual world, their selfish and worldly desires and ambitions pull<br />

them down, and they are lost. (7.175)<br />

14:3 - Those who love the life of this world more than the Hereafter who hinder (men) from the Path<br />

of Allah and seek therein something crooked: they are astray by a long distance. 1873<br />

1873 The Unbelievers are here characterised in three ways: (1) they love this ephemeral life and its vanities more than the<br />

true Life which goes into the Hereafter; (2) they not only harm themselves but mislead others, (3) their own crooked<br />

minds search for something crooked in Allah's straight Path (Cf. vii. 45). But in doing so, they go farther and farther<br />

from the Truth. (14.3)<br />

20:79 - Pharaoh led his people astray instead of leading them aright. 2600<br />

2600 It is the duty of kings and leaders to give the right lead of their people. Instead of that, the evil ones among them lead<br />

them astray and are the cause of the whole of the people perishing. (20.79)<br />

20:85 - (Allah) said: "We have tested thy people in thy absence: the Samiri has led them astray."<br />
