We said: "Get ye down all from here; and if, as is sure, there comes
to you Guidance from me(**), whosoever follows My guidance, on them
shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
**Note the transition from the plural "We" at the beginning of the
verse to the singular "Me" later in the same verse, Allah speaks of
Himself usually in the first person plural "We"; it is the plural of
respect and honour and is used in human language in Royal
proclamations and decrees. But where a special personal relationship
is expressed the singular, "I" or "Me" is used etc.
In spite of Man's fall, and in consequence of it, assurance of
guidance is given. In case man follows the guidance he is free from
any fear for the present or the future, and any grief or sorrow for
the past. The soul thus freed grows nearer to Allah
