'Allah does not guide the wrongdoers'?

[WonderingWorrier]

I read this repeatedly in the Qur'an,

[9:109] Is he, then, who has erected his structure on the fear of Allah and His good pleasure better, or he who erects his structure on the brink of a crumbling bank, so that it crumbles down with him into the Hell-Fire? Allah does not bestow His Guidance on the wrong-doing folk.

In a theological sense, compared, for example, to Jesus saying 'Those who are healthy don't need a physician but the sick do', how does one become guided from sinning to becoming a Muslim? If Allah doesn't guide wrong-doers, how are they led off a path of wrong-doing etc?

Thanks.

Misunderstanding can lead to wrong doing while thinking it is right doing.


Misguided:

"Who doth greater wrong than one who invents falsehood against Allah, even as he is being invited to Islam? And Allah guides not those who do wrong". Quran 61:7

"There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues: (As they read) you would think it is a part of the Book, but it is no part of the Book; and they say, "That is from Allah," but it is not from Allah: It is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it!" Quran 3:78



Guided:

"Those who listen to the Word, and follow the best (meaning) in it: those are the ones whom Allah has guided, and those are the ones endued with understanding". Quran 39:18



To help determine guided:

A muslim is equal to an unbeliever if they are not able to recognise the speech of all the other messengers around the world.


As it says in the Quran:

"Those who deny Allah and His messengers, and (those who) wish to separate Allah from His messengers, saying: "We believe in some but reject others": And (those who) wish to take a course midway,-

They are in truth (equally) unbelievers; and we have prepared for unbelievers a humiliating punishment.

To those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no distinction between any of the messengers, we shall soon give their (due) rewards: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful". Quran 4:150-152


So misunderstanding the message can lead to wrong doing.
While understanding all messengers can lead to right doing.

Fatalism and reply to it by 10th Imam (a)

Imam Ali Al-Hadi (a) the reply on Fatalists and Indeterminists and the verification of God's justice and the belief of intermediacy From Ali bin Mohammed: Peace and God's mercy and blessings be upon you and those who follow the right guidance. I have received your message and known what you...

www.religiousforums.com

Imam Al-Hadi (a) in that letter talks about these verses a lot and explains what they mean in light of clearer verses and hadiths. There is a principle in Quran and Ahlulbayt (a) taught as well, to resort what is unclear to us to what is clear.

If you have any further questions, let me know.
