عَالَمِين AALAMIN Read the Qur'an in context

Who is responsible for guiding others - the preacher, or God?

In short

  • The text says: the one addressed cannot guide whom he loves, but God guides whom He wills (28:56); their guidance is not his responsibility, but God guides whom He wills (2:272); he is only a reminder, with no control over them (88:21-22); and those who believe are responsible for their own souls, and one who has strayed cannot harm them if they are guided (5:105).
  • The text does not say: that the one who calls is answerable for whether others are guided.
  • The rest comes from: outside the Qur'an. The practice readers ask about, known by the names Tablighi Jamaat, tabligh, going out, chilla and gasht, or a preaching trip, is named here and not described or judged.

Where the renderings split

28:56, Itani: "You cannot guide whom you love, but God guides whom He wills"

28:56, Pickthall: "thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest"

28:56, Palmer: "thou canst not guide whom thou dost like"

28:56, Rodwell: "Thou truly canst not guide whom thou desirest"

28:56, Sale: "thou canst not direct whom thou wilt"

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 28:56 You cannot guide whom you love; God guides whom He will
  2. 02 2:272 Their guidance is not your duty; God guides whom He will
  3. 03 88:21–22 Remind, for you are only a reminder; you have no control over them
  4. 04 5:105 You have charge of your own souls; one who errs cannot harm you if you are guided
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

The text says it of the Prophet himself. At 28:56 Itani has "You cannot guide whom you love, but God guides whom He wills", and at 2:272 Pickthall has "The guiding of them is not thy duty (O Muhammad), but Allah guideth whom He will."

At 88:21-22 the task given is to remind: Pickthall has "Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer" and "Thou art not at all a warder over them".

At 5:105 Pickthall has "Ye have charge of your own souls. He who erreth cannot injure you if ye are rightly guided."

In these verses the guiding is God's, and the one who calls reminds.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this rests on

Opens with 28:56, widening across 4 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 4 passages, each with every cleared translation

4 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Što se upute njihove tiče, ne ovisi to o tebi, jer Allah izvodi na Pravi put koga On hoće. Dobro koje podijelite vaše je, a ono što dijelite, dijelite samo u želji za licem Allahovim. A ono što od dobara udijelite, to će vam biti nadoknađeno i neće vam nepravda biti učinjena.

Και ό,τι καλό (χρήματα) ξοδεύετε (ω, πιστοί, το όφελός του και η αμοιβή του) είναι για τον εαυτό σας, και μην ξοδεύετε παρά μόνο αναζητώντας τη χάρη του Αλλάχ.

John Medows Rodwell1861 There are among you the poor, who being shut up to fighting for the cause of God, have it not in their power to strike out into the earth for riches. Those who know them not, think them rich because of their modesty. By this their token thou shalt know them - they ask not of men with importunity: and of whatever good thing ye shall give them in alms, of a truth God will take knowledge
