Surah Al-An'am (6:26)

وَهُمۡ يَنۡهَوۡنَ عَنۡهُ وَيَنۡــَٔوۡنَ عَنۡهُۚ وَاِنۡ يُّهۡلِكُوۡنَ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡفُسَهُمۡ وَمَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ‏ ۝

Wahum yanhawna AAanhu wayan-awna AAanhuwa-in yuhlikoona illa anfusahum wama yashAAuroon

And they prevent others from him and are themselves remote from him. And they do not destroy except themselves, but they perceive it not.

Theme of the Ayat

The Failure of Prevention: The deniers prevent others from the truth and harm only themselves. |

The Insight

They prevent others from following the truth and turn away themselves, harming only their own souls without realizing it. **Be a facilitator of truth.** Avoid all actions that obstruct the path to God for others. Such actions are ultimately acts of spiritual suicide.
