Divine Guidance
In the first chapter of the Quran, the ‘straight path’ of guidance is the ‘straight path’ of individual and personal life. Moreover, the ‘straight path’ referred to in the chapter ‘Victory’ is the path of peace and harmony. In other words, it is the ‘straight path’ of social living. According to the Quran, the entire Universe is functioning under a set of laws established by God and does not deviate from these laws even one little bit. “The sun does not overtake the moon, nor can the night outpace the day; each floats in [its own] orbit.” (THE QURAN 36: 40). As the Universe is under God’s stringent and compulsive laws, it can only exhibit a predictable nature. On the other hand, God has bestowed man with free will, the misuse of which results in violence and conflict in the human world. In order to control this violence and conflict in the human world, the Quran gives guidance referred to as the ‘straight path’.
