Al-An'am 6:125
The Cattle · Juz 8 · Page 144
فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهۡدِيَهُۥ يَشۡرَحۡ صَدۡرَهُۥ لِلۡإِسۡلَٰمِۖ وَمَن يُرِدۡ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ يَجۡعَلۡ صَدۡرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجٗا كَأَنَّمَا يَصَّعَّدُ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَجۡعَلُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّجۡسَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ١٢٥
So whoever Allāh wants to guide - He expands his breast to [contain] Islām; and whoever He wants to send astray1 - He makes his breast tight and constricted as though he were climbing into the sky. Thus does Allāh place defilement upon those who do not believe.

Commentary on 6:125
"Barangsiapa yang Allah menghendaki akan memberikan petunjuk kepadanya, niscaya Dia melapangkan dadanya untuk (memeluk agama) Islam. Dan barangsiapa yang dikehendaki ke-sesatannya oleh Allah, niscaya Allah menjadikan dadanya sesak lagi sempit, seolah-olah ia sedang mendaki ke langit. Begitulah Allah menimpakan siksa kepada orang-orang yang tidak beriman." (Al-An'am: 125).
(125) Allah menjelaskan kepada hamba-hambaNya tanda-tanda kebahagiaan, hidayah, kesengsaraan, dan kesesatan seorang hamba, "Sesungguhnya orang yang dadanya terbuka untuk Islam dan disinari cahaya iman, ia hidup dengan sinar yakin, maka jiwa-nya tenteram, mencintai kebaikan, melakukannya dengan jiwa yang rela, merasakan kenikmatan tanpa merasa berat; ini adalah tanda bahwa Allah telah memberinya petunjuk, menganugerahkan taufik kepadanya sehingga dia mampu meniti jalan lurus. Dan bahwa tanda orang yang Allah ingin ﴾ أَن يُضِلَّهُۥ ﴿ "menyesatkannya" adalah, ﴾ يَجۡعَلۡ صَدۡرَهُۥ ضَيِّقًا حَرَجٗا ﴿ "Allah menjadikan dadanya sesak lagi sempit." Mak-sudnya, dadanya sangat sempit dari iman, ilmu dan yakin. Hatinya telah terbenam di dalam syubhat dan syahwat sehingga tidak ada kebaikan yang masuk ke dalamnya, dan hatinya tidak lapang dalam melakukan kebaikan, saking sempit dan sesaknya, seolah-olah ﴾ يَصَّعَّدُ فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِۚ ﴿ "ia sedang mendaki ke langit." Maksudnya, seolah-olah dia dipaksa naik ke langit di mana dia tidak mempunyai cara untuk menghindarinya. Penyebabnya adalah ketidakimanan me-reka. Ketidakimanan merekalah yang menyebabkan Allah menim-pakan siksa kepada mereka, karena mereka sendirilah yang menutup pintu rahmat dan kebaikan dari diri mereka. Ini adalah parameter yang adil dan jalan yang tidak berubah. Barangsiapa yang memberi, bertakwa dan membenarkan kebaikan, maka Allah memudahkan-nya kepada kebaikan. Dan barangsiapa yang kikir, merasa kaya dan mendustakan kebaikan, maka Allah akan memudahkannya kepada kesulitan.

6:126
وَهَٰذَا صِرَٰطُ رَبِّكَ مُسۡتَقِيمٗاۗ قَدۡ فَصَّلۡنَا ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَذَّكَّرُونَ ١٢٦
And this is the path of your Lord, [leading] straight. We have detailed the verses for a people who remember.
6:127
۞ لَهُمۡ دَارُ ٱلسَّلَٰمِ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡۖ وَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ١٢٧
For them will be the Home of Peace [i.e., Paradise] with their Lord. And He will be their protecting friend because of what they used to do.
6:128
وَيَوۡمَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ جَمِيعٗا يَٰمَعۡشَرَ ٱلۡجِنِّ قَدِ ٱسۡتَكۡثَرۡتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡإِنسِۖ وَقَالَ أَوۡلِيَآؤُهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡإِنسِ رَبَّنَا ٱسۡتَمۡتَعَ بَعۡضُنَا بِبَعۡضٖ وَبَلَغۡنَآ أَجَلَنَا ٱلَّذِيٓ أَجَّلۡتَ لَنَاۚ قَالَ ٱلنَّارُ مَثۡوَىٰكُمۡ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٞ ١٢٨
And [mention, O Muḥammad], the Day when He will gather them together [and say], "O company of jinn, you have [misled] many of mankind." And their allies among mankind will say, "Our Lord, some of us made use of others, and we have [now] reached our term which You appointed for us." He will say, "The Fire is your residence, wherein you will abide eternally, except for what Allāh wills. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing."
6:129
وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُوَلِّي بَعۡضَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ بَعۡضَۢا بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ ١٢٩
And thus will We make some of the wrongdoers allies of others for what they used to earn.1

6:130
يَٰمَعۡشَرَ ٱلۡجِنِّ وَٱلۡإِنسِ أَلَمۡ يَأۡتِكُمۡ رُسُلٞ مِّنكُمۡ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي وَيُنذِرُونَكُمۡ لِقَآءَ يَوۡمِكُمۡ هَٰذَاۚ قَالُواْ شَهِدۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِنَاۖ وَغَرَّتۡهُمُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَشَهِدُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمۡ أَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ كَٰفِرِينَ ١٣٠
"O company of jinn and mankind,1 did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "We bear witness against ourselves"; and the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.

That is because your Lord would not destroy the cities for wrongdoing1 while their people were unaware.
