wa-kayfa takfurūna wa-ʾantum tutlā ʿalaykum ʾāyātu llāhi wa-fīkum rasūluhū wa-man yaʿtaṣim bi-llāhi fa-qad hudiya ʾilā ṣirāṭin mustaqīmin
And how would you be faithless while the signs of Allah are recited to you and His Apostle is in your midst? Whoever takes recourse in Allah is certainly guided to a straight path.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah 'Ali-Imran, Verse 101
101. "But how can you disbelieve while the verses of Allah are being recited unto you and His Messenger is amongst you? And whoever holds fast to Allah will indeed be guided to the Straight Path."
The cause of deviation or disbelief is either the lack of right path or the lack of guidance. But when there are Book, normatic custom, ordinances, and divine leaders, why do they pervert? Relying on and trusting in Allah and seeking help from Him, is the key to security from all temptations and deviations.
Explanations
1. The way of approaching to Allah is open to everybody.9
2. The existence of law alone is not enough to control infidelity and perversion. The presence of leader is necessary, too.
3. Seeking refuge to anyone or any authority rather than Allah, is perversion.
4. What is more important than motion, is finding the straightway and paving it.
5. Holding fast to Allah has a definite result:
6. Holding fast to Allah is an earnest movement accompanied with a cognizant choice which is paving the way with the saints of Allah and in the way of Allah.
