Surah Al Furqan Tafseer

إِن كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنْ الِهَتِنَا

He would have nearly misled us from our gods,

They meant:`he nearly turned us away from worshipping idols, and he would have done so, had we not been patient and persevered in our ways.'

لَوْلَا أَن صَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا

had it not been that we were patient and constant in their worship!"

So Allah said, warning and threatening them:

وَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ حِينَ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ

And they will know, when they see the torment...

مَنْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلً

who it is that is most astray from the path!

They took Their Desires as their gods and were more astray than Cattle

Then Allah tells His Prophet that if Allah decrees that someone will be misguided and wretched, then no one can guide him except Allah, glory be to Him
