Ask me anything about Islam! I will try my best to answer

There are two types of questions depending on one's intention: one to cure ignorance and the other to feed arrogance/question authority

When the Koran says different things on a particular topic, how does the believer come to understand what is intended?

"God - He guides to the truth" [Sura 10:35]
"Allah leads astray whom he pleases, and he guides whom He pleases" [Sura 14:4].

If all occurs only through the will of The One, how is a person free to choose to live a moral life in submission?

@hartfire Its a translation issue on the word "YaShaAa" and "YuDilLa". The word YaShaAaa should not be confused with RiDaA

Long story short: Here is a more appropriate translation

God - He guides to the truth" [Sura 10:35]
"Allah allows/wills a person to go astray if that person chooses to, and He guides whom He wills" [Sura 14:4].
@SomeHand Thank you! :)
