Explanatory Note

He has equipped him with the ability to distinguish good from evil, and right from wrong: and shown him the two paths,so that he can choose between them. Inherent in his make-up is the ability to take either way. It is God’s will that man should be given such ability and such freedom of choice, to perfect His scheme of creation which assigns to every creature its role in life and equips it with the means necessary for its fulfilment.
 
This verse explains the essence of human nature. In fact, the basis of the Islamic viewpoint of human psychology is contained in this verse and four verses in the next surah, The Sun: “By the soul and its moulding and inspiration with knowledge of wickedness and righteousness. Successful is the one who keeps it pure, and ruined is the one who corrupts it.” (91: 7-10)
