Allah says,
[إِنَّ هَـذِهِ]
(Verily, this) meaning, this Surah.
[تَذْكِرَةٌ]
(an admonition,) meaning, men of understanding receive admonition from it. Thus, Allah says,
[فَمَن شَآءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ سَبِيلاً]
(therefore whosoever wills, let him take a path to His Lord.) meaning, from those whom Allah wills that they be guided. This is similar to the stipulation that Allah mentions in another Surah,
[وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلاَّ أَن يَشَآءَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً ]
(But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily Allah is Ever All-Knowing, Al-Wise.) (76:30)
