Al-Rashîd: The Right in Guidance

"Surely you are an example of a forebearer (Al-Halîm), the Right in Guidance (Al-Rashîd)" (11:87).

The Right in Guidance is Allah's quality of leading one's disposition to its ultimate aim as a result of right ways-of-behaving without the advice of a counselor, the directions of a director, or the guidance of a guide. This one is Allah alone. Allah is the best of teachers, leading creatures towards the Straight Path and salvation. Allah never fails in wisdom or actions. Everything Allah does has a beneficial and clear purpose. The effectiveness of Allah as the Right in Guidance is such that everything is guided by Allah's .
