<h2 class="title">Recompense comes after Proof is established</h2><p>Allah describes His Honorable Self and just judgment in that He does not lead a people astray but after the Message comes to them, so that the proof is established against them. For instance, Allah said, </p><div class="text_uthmani arabic">وَأَمَّا ثَمُودُ فَهَدَيْنَـهُمْ</div><p>(And as for Thamud, We showed and made clear to them the path of truth ...) 41:17.

Ibn Jarir commented, "Allah says that He would not direct you to misguidance, so that you invoke Him for forgiveness for your dead idolators, after He gave you guidance and directed you to believe in Him and in His Messenger !

Therefore, in this case, He will not allow you to be misguided. Verily, guidance or misguidance occurs after commands and prohibitions are established. As for those who were neither commanded nor prohibited, they can neither be obedient nor disobedient in doing what they were neither ordered nor prohibited from doing."
