رَبَّنَا لَا تُزِغۡ قُلُوۡبَنَا بَعۡدَ اِذۡ هَدَيۡتَنَا وَهَبۡ لَنَا مِنۡ لَّدُنۡكَ رَحۡمَةً ۚ اِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ الۡوَهَّابُ۔
"Our Lord, do not let our hearts go crooked after You have given us guidance, and bestow upon us mercy from Your own. Surely, You, and You alone, are the Bestower."
This verse tells us that guidance, and straying from the right path, both come from Allah Ta'alah alone. When Allah Ta'alah intends to guide someone, He makes his heart tilt towards what is good and right; and when He decides to let someone go astray, He turns his heart away from the straight path. In a Hadith the Holy Prophet ﷺ has said, "There is no heart which is not there between two of Allah's fingers - He makes it firm on the truth as long as He wills, and turns it away from the truth when He wills."
