Inside the Quran
يَهْدِي (yahdi) means he guides. It describes giving direction to the right way. The surrounding words identify the subject and the one guided.
Read it inside the complete ayat below. The surrounding words decide the most natural English rendering, so the translation may use more than one English phrase for the same Arabic form.
“And thus have We sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down as verses of clear evidence and because Allāh guides whom He intends.”
“It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.”
“That is so he [i.e., al-ʿAzeez] will know that I did not betray him in [his] absence and that Allāh does not guide the plan of betrayers.”
Arabic quoted letter for letter from the Uthmani text of our Quran reader. Translation: Saheeh International.
