Surat Ibrahim (27-28)

{يُثَبِّتُ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الآخِرَةِ وَيُضِلُّ اللّهُ الظَّالِمِينَ وَيَفْعَلُ اللّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ} (إبراهيم : 27 )

27- Allah makes His Believing Servants firm on the phrase of monotheism by making it firm in their hearts in the worldly life as a retribution to their patience and faith. So, when they are tried in their religion, they do not deviate or doubt their religion. Moreover, He makes them firm on it after death in the grave which is the first abode of the Hereafter.

It was reported in Sahih Al Bukhari and Sahih Muslim and others with the wordings of Al Bukhari: Al Bara’ ibn `Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "When a faithful believer is made to sit in his grave, then (the angels) come to him and he testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is Allah's Messenger. And that corresponds to Allah's statement: Allah will keep firm those who believe with the word that stands firm . . . (127)."

On the other hand, Allah misleads the oppressors by their oppression, polytheism, and turning away from the truth, so He does not guide them to the correct answer in the grave.

Allah does whatever He wills such as guiding a group of people or misleading and turning back to others as they deserve according to the will and wisdom of Allah. "And your Lord treats no one with injustice." [Surat Al Kahf: 49].

{أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ بَدَّلُواْ نِعْمَةَ اللّهِ كُفْراً وَأَحَلُّواْ قَوْمَهُمْ دَارَ الْبَوَارِ} (إبراهيم : 28 )

28- O Prophet, have not you looked at those polytheists who replaced gratitude with denial and admitted their people to the abode of humiliation and destruction by their false call such as the disbelievers of Makkah whom Allah inhabited Makkah and honored them with sending the Prophet (peace be upon him). However, they disbelieved in their Lord, disbelieved in His Favors, and belied His Messenger then Allah punished them with famine for seven years and defeated them in the battle of Badr.
