Those who seek huda / guidance are those who are seeking the truth about the deen / way of life towards attaining Islam / peace. The one who guides is the one who knows the truth so the one who knows the truth is the one who has the authority to guide. In surah Al Lail 92:12, Allah decreed, “Surely on Us is the guidance”. This statement sets out only Allah can guide human and Allah does not authorize human to be the one who can also guide. Thus whoever takes the role of guiding others to attain Islam / peace, in reality, he ashroku billah / associate himself with Allah as those who also know and has also the authority to guide.
The human mind is fragmented. Whatever knowledge accumulated in the human mind is limited to the content stored in the form of thoughts, sound and images of the memory. As a result, whatever opinion, conclusion, judgment, idea, knowledge and so on will not be complete and wholly in nature. The reason is that what human knows is little compared to what human does not know. The scope is borderless and the limitation is a lot. In the light of this scenario, human will not be able to guide as mentioned in surah Al Qasas 28:56 ;
Surah Al Qasas 28:56 - “Surely you will not be able to guide whom you loved. But Allah guides whom He wills. And He knows more with those who are guided”.
Allah guides by inspiring ruh / spirit and there is insight when Allah made the ruh / spirit become a light. Allah explained how Allah guides human in surah As Shura 42:52;
Surah As Shura 42:52 -“And likewise from Our order We have inspired a ruh / spirit towards you. You did not have the perception what was Al kitab / the book and neither of the belief but We made it (ruh / spirit) nuran / a light. We guide to whom We will from Our servants with it (ruh / spirit). And surely you guide towards the straight / upright path (only with the ruh / spirit inspired as the light).
In conclusion, there is no authority SAVE only Allah who guides with His ruh / spirit inspired to those who seek Allah's help.
