(125) فَمَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَهْدِيَهُ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُ لِلْإِسْلامِ وَ مَنْ يُرِدْ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُ يَجْعَلْ صَدْرَهُ ضَيِّقاً
حَرَجاً كَأَنَّما يَصَّعَّدُ فِي السَّماءِ كَذلِكَ يَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ الرِّجْسَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ
125. " Therefore, whomever Allah intends that He should guide him aright, He opens his breast to Islam; and whomever He intends that He should cause him to send astray, He makes his breast narrow and straitened as if he were ascending upwards into the sky. Thus does Allah lay abomination on those who do not believe."
Commentary :
The purpose of the divine guidance and misguidance is to provide the means of guidance for those who deserve it, and to ruin those means for those who are not eligible of it. The objective meaning of the Qur'anc term / Sadr / (breast) is 'heart
and spirit', and, therefore, the purpose of 'opening the breast' is broading the scope of mind and thought, as well as the height of spirit, for accepting the Truth and guidance. This situation needs that the person renounces the low desires and wishes of his heart. He who has not ' an open breast ' usually remains inside of himself and does not dare to come out. The fruit of ' an open breast ' is, firstly, insight and luminosity. and, secondly, a tender heart which accepts the Truth.
Thus, accepting the Truth necessarily needs an innate receptiveness and capacity.
" Therefore, whomever Allah intends that He should guide him aright, He opens his breast to Islam; ..."
And, the one who is not ready to accept the Truth, can not ascend into the sky of cognition.
"... and whomever He intends that He should cause him to send astray, He makes his breast narrow and straitened as if he were ascending upwards into the sky. ..."
The result of coming out from the course of natural disposition, intellect, and nature is saffocation, straitened circumstances, and stresses. The corruptors are indeed entangled with straitened circumstances and stresses, although they see themselves in a worldly apparent welfare and progression.
"... Thus does Allah lay abomination on those who do not believe."
