Assalamu alaikum Dear Viewers,
We often find people (muslims) saying "When Allah will wish, He will give me guidance. until He Doesn't wish, how I can get the guidance. When He will descend his Taufeeq (decisive power decsended by Allah that make a person succeed in doing a particular task) upon me, I will pay Salah, I will observe Saum, I will observe beard, I will....., I will...."
Whenver they are asked, they have the same reply. The proof?
A lot of ayaah from the Qur'an like Soorah Ibrahim: 4, Soorah Nahl: 93, Soorah Fatir: 8, Soorah Zumar: 23, Soorah Muddathir: 31. For sample:-
وَيَقُولُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ مَنْ أَنَابَ
(Soorah Rad: 27)
(And those who disbelieved, said: Why didn't descend an ayah upon him[Nabi salla allahu alaihi wa sallam] from his Lord. You say to them: Verily Allah misguides whom He wishes and guides towards Him who submits [towards Him])
"Yuzillu man yyashaa'u" (misguides whom He wishes) - This is the mantra they have crammed!

O you who believe! Do not render in vain your Sadaqah (charity) by reminders of your generosity or by injury, like him who spends his wealth to be seen of men, and he does not believe in Allah, nor in the Last Day. His likeness is the likeness of a smooth rock on which is a soil; on it falls heavy rain which leaves it bare. They are not able to do anything with what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
(Soorah Baqarah: 264)
In this ayah, Allah sub'han wa t'ala is indicating us the reason why a person does not attain steadfastness in any deed. Deeds are of two types:-
1. Those done as Islamic deeds so that one may receive on the day of Qiyamah.
2. Those done to gain worldly affairs.
