Following temptations

In Aya 7, Allah (SWT) teaches us to ask Him to make us among those who follow the right path,

The path of those upon whom He has bestowed His favor,

not of those who have evoked His anger

nor of those who are astray.

It is those who followed others blindly without thinking and without searching for the truth.

Be always a thinker. Make sure that you are doing

the right thing.

Who are those who are astray?

Allah will be angry at those who do not follow Allah’s commands even though they have the knowledge of it.

Always try your best to follow Allah’s commands, and if you forgot or made a mistake ask

for forgiveness.

Who will Allah be angry with?
