Nature has provided guidance to human beings since civic life has started or more appropriately, since the dawn of civilization. From the stars guiding the bedouin Arabs in the vast desert (without any signposts or milestones), to the ships, airplanes and space vehicles equipped with sophisticated, modern, computerized navigation systems. It is Nature which ultimately provides the guidance for following the desired (right) path. It is also nature that provides indications in case of failure (wrong path). Nature provides guidance regarding truth and falsehood in every field of human knowledge and scientific endeavor. It is not nature that misguides but our imperfect knowledge, improper designs and improper observations misguide us. The moment knowledge advances to the level of perfect understanding in accordance with nature, human beings succeed in their missions. So, nature provides the touchstone (guidance) to test the validity of all the scientific hypotheses in the various areas of knowledge.

The very question seems strange at first. But this will help us in
drawing meaningful conclusions as there is a parallel argument in our
search for an answer to our original question, Does Allah Almighty
misguide anyone?

Allah Almighty (God) has assumed responsibility of providing perfection and
protection to His creations Quran chapter 6 verse 12. The purpose of
this expression indicates that whatever demand is put forth for growth,
development, and perfection by any creature, the corresponding
attribute of Allah Almighty-the Creator - fulfils that particular
demand. Under specific circumstances there will be manifestation of one
of His attributes and this is generally called Grace of the Providence
which is eternal and unchangeable. In this world all the creations of
Allah Almighty are bound to follow the natural laws set for them, and
none can violate them in any form -Quran chapter 30 verse 26 - Since
human beings have been made responsible for reward of good deeds and
punishment for bad deeds in this world and in the hereafter, men has
given an option to follow or not to follow the Divine laws -Quran
chapter 18 verse 29- but the results of this action are beyond his
control. This can be explained by few examples of our daily life such
as that when a man plants a mango sapling, it will bear mango only, if
he wants fig from mango tree, it will not be possible. In another
example, if a person takes potassium cyanide he is bound to die; he has
an option to take or not to take, but as far the result is concerned he
has no control over it. Further, if a person puts his finger into fire,
it will be burnt. Also the result will not be depend on how it was done
whether intentionally or unintentionally; the effect will be the same
for the poor and the rich, minor or major, insane or sane, black or
white, kafir or momin. This is called the Law of Mukafaat (Law of
Reward or Punishment) which is permanent and unchangeable. In all other
day-to-day activities, the effect of the Law of Mukafaat will be the
same. At the same time man has not been left without guidance, and in
this respect the Divine revelation says ; And those who strive in Our
cause we will certainly guide them to Our paths: for verily God is with
those who do right Quran chapter 29 verse 69 .The Quran has also
categorically stated that when the right path is followed, the
followers will be showered with blessings from heaven and earth, but
when these laws are violated, the blessings are withdrawn Quran chapter
7 verse 96. In the life of the above explanation, it could be seen that
Allah Almighty is not the creation of any human mind but exists as an
Absolute Reality. We have to believe in Him through understanding His
attributes, which He Himself has described in the Quran. These
attributes serve a pattern for the mankind to follow.
