Misguidance could stem from external factors which are not in the control of the individual who is being misguided. This is the misguidance that might be excused, as it has been explained below.

 

But if the person is misguided because of external factors which is out of his hands,

he will be excused. For example, if the person did not receive the message of Islam at all or he

received it but not in a clear way, then he will be excused for that misguidance. People who live

in periods between two prophets (Ahlul Fatrah) are considered as being in excusable situations

 

 

 

because they could not receive the messages of Allah at that period of time.

 

 

 

At the end of the hadith it is mentioned and stressed that whoever finds good record he should

be thankful to Allah and praise Him for that, and anyone who finds other than that, which

means bad record, he should not blame anyone except himself. This is a clear statement that

shows the personal responsibility of one’s actions. It is the person’s own will and choice and not Allah’s. Allah is al-A’dil or Just. He never does injustice to His servants. In the Qur’an, we can

find many verses that explain how people blame themselves during the Day of Judgment for not following the right path. It is the people themselves who chose to be misguided and hence they

cannot blame any one else but themselves. This is also an important aspect of al-qadar that

should be understood.

According to the scholars there are four types of guidance:

 

Guidance needed for the welfare of the worldly life. This type is general guidance for all

living beings. They include Muslims and non-Muslims, animals and also other creatures.

Laziness is very attractive to ignorance, so wherever there is laziness in the quest for knowledge, be certain to find ignorance married happily to Mr. laziness, making a perfect couple with darkness as their residence. Corrections, criticisms and the like are welcome as usual. They keep me on my toes and on the look out for much information. Since information is key in this day and age.
