Hidayah Allah - Embrace Islam

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Nur means Light or a path which drive human being to good, tranquility and pure ways of life in the world and the hereafter.

Hidayah means a guidance given from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to certain people with certain conditions;

Surah al-Qasas: 56

Verily! You (O Muhammad ) guide not whom you like, but Allâh guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided.

Human being needs guidance from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to ensure our life on the right track/ right path. Allah s.w.t is the only one who has rights to give guidance which means no one else in the world has right to claim that he/she can give guidance to someone else. Let us trace back from the story of Prophet's Uncle..Abu Talib. He was so closed and always protected Prophet exalt to his mention, yet he not became to be a Muslim. Means, Prophet has no authorityto give guidance to Abu Talib. It is Allah's Will.
