قُلْ هَلْ مِن شُرَكَآئِكُمْ مَّن يَهْدِيۤ إِلَى ٱلْحَقِّ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ يَهْدِي لِلْحَقِّ أَفَمَن يَهْدِيۤ إِلَى ٱلْحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَن يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّن لاَّ يَهِدِّيۤ إِلاَّ أَن يُهْدَىٰ فَمَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ

 

qul hal min shurakāikum man yahdī ilā l-ḥaqi quli l-lahu yahdī lil`ḥaqqi afaman yahdī ilā l-ḥaqi aḥaqqu an yuttabaʿa amman lā yahiddī illā an yuh`dā famā lakum kayfa taḥkumūna

 

The Aya says:

Say (O Muhammad): are there any of your partners (With Allah) who guides to the truth?  Respond:  Allah guides to the truth.  So, is the one that guides to the truth more worthy of being followed or the one who cannot unless he is shown guidance?! So how do you arrive at conclusion?!

 

My personal note:

The Aya talks to our logic.  It challenges the people that if you prefer to follow the one that benefits you most, then how come you end up worshipping the one that lacks those capabilities.  It makes for poor reasoning.  The Aya and others like it talk to our minds and reasoning and establishes that correct reasoning has to agree with correct transmission and understanding of revelation.
