The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

He whom Allaah guides shall not be misguided, and he whom He misguides shall never be guided. If this is in the Quran then, why would Allah misguide someone?

Answer

The Quran, our beloved Prophet Mohammad (sallalahu alayhi wa sallam) and his Ahadith are means of guidance. Allah Ta'ala assists those who are sincere in their quest for guidance. The misguided people are well known to Him.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
