Learn the powerful prophetic dua for trials that transforms hardship into hope and active trust in Allah's perfect plan.
Surah Al-An'am verse 124 states that Allah is the all-knowing Lord who has no partners and is in control of guidance. It reminds people to turn to Him alone and that He knows best who deserves guidance.
"And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah." (2:115)
"And if Allah had willed, He could have made you [of] one religion, but He causes to stray whom He wills and guides whom He wills." (16:93)
Verse 124 of Surah Al-An'am translates as: "And when a sign comes to them, they say, "Never will we believe until we are given like that which was given to the messengers of Allah." Allah is most knowing of where He places His message. There will afflict those who committed crimes debasement before Allah and severe punishment for what they used to conspire."
This verse responds to idolaters demanding miracles like earlier prophets. It asserts Allah decides who to guide based on their readiness and sincerity. Punishment awaits those who reject guidance arrogantly.

-"Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills." (28:56)
In summary, Surah Al-An'am verse 124 highlights Allah's exclusive divinity in guiding people. It encourages relying fully on Allah while warning arrogantly rejecting guidance leads to ruin.
