But after man has exercised this freedom of choice whether he can practically also do the same which he wants to do, depends on Allah's Will, His leave and His grace | One thief was enough to steal whatever he liked; one adulterer to commit rape on every woman, one robber to plunder every house, if each one of these had full powers to act at he desired |

This means that the will is not left to you all, so that whoever wishes to be guided, then he is guided, and whoever wishes to be astray, then he goes astray, rather, all of this is according to the will of Allah the Exalted, and He is the Lord of all that exists |
If one considers these three things deeply one can fully well understand the relationship between man's freedom of choice and Allah's Will, and it helps to remove all the confusions from the people's minds about the question of destiny | So, He makes guidance easy for him and He predestines for him that which will be a cause for it |

And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed ye will not, unless it be that Allah willeth, the Lord of Creation ヤ | Indonesia - Bahasa Indonesia : Dan kamu tidak mampu menempuh jalan itu kecuali bila dikehendaki Allah Sesungguhnya Allah adalah Maha Mengetahui lagi Maha Bijaksana• The first verse shows that in this world the authority granted to man is only to the extent that he may decide to adopt any one of the different courses available for passing life here |
Therefore, Allah has kept this in His own power whether He may allow or disallow the man to follow the right or the wrong path that he chooses to follow or not.
6Abu Jahl said, "The matter is up to us | or that he may like to follow the Qur'an, but Allah may force him to become an atheist, polytheist or disbeliever, or that he may like to become a good man, but Allah may force him to become an evil man |

Man has full freedom to adopt any mode of morality he likes | If man had been delegated all the powers in the world and permitted to do whatever he pleased, the system of the world would have been disrupted |
This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah At-Takwir, and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.
