مَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَلَا هَادِىَ لَهُۥ ۚ وَيَذَرُهُمْ فِى طُغْيَـٰنِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ Qur’an Al-A'raf (7:186)
Man yu d lili All a hu fal a h a diya lahu waya th aruhum fee t ughy a nihim yaAAmahoon a
For those whom God lets go astray, there is no guide; and He shall leave them in their overweening arrogance, blindly stumbling to and fro.152
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

As in verse {178} above - and in many other places in the Qur'an - the expression "he whom God lets [or "causes to"] go astray" indicates the natural law instituted by God (sunnat Allah), whereby a wilful neglect of one's inborn, cognitive faculties unavoidably results in the loss of all ethical orientation: that is, not an act of "predestination" but a result of one's own choice. See also surah {2}, note [7], and surah {14}, note [4].

None can guide those whom Allah confounds and leaves them blundering about in their rebellious transgression.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Whoever Allah allows to stray, none can guide, leaving them to wander blindly in their defiance.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Those whom Allah sendeth astray, there is no guide for them. He leaveth them to wander blindly on in their contumacy.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
To such as Allah rejects from His guidance there can be no guide; He will leave them in their trespasses wandering in distraction. 1158
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. ii. 15. If Allah's light is removed, the best of them can only wander hither and thither, like blind men, in distraction.
