Islam is a way of life
A friend came to me with some questions in Islam.
I answered her first two easily, but the last one threw me for a loop. I told her I would come to some more knowledgeable Muslims and get advice.
The Surah in question is:
"Those whom Allah (in his plan) wills to guide - He opens their breast to Islam; those whom He wills to leave straying - He makes their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies; thus does Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe." - 6:138
This confuses her because:
* Allah (swt) WILLS us to Islam.
* Meaning he does NOT will some people to Islam.
* He then penalizes (sends them to hell) those who he doesnt will to Islam.
Can someone please explain to me what I/we are getting wrong?
