God does not guide the Disbelievers (9:37, 5:67, 16:104) and Leads them farther astray (40:74)
God does not guide people who violate His covenant after pledging to uphold it, and 2) sever/go against what God has commanded to be joined (i.e what was intended by the covenant) and 3) to the extend of them spreading corruption on earth (I.e the corruptors 2:26-27; *Also "the Corrupt" are intentionally NOT guided in 2:99, 9:24 10:33, 63:6)


What can lead people astray:
Following Chiefs/Rulers etc. (33:67)
Following Basless Narrarations (Arabic: Hadiths) (31:6)
Following your own Desires can lead people astray (38:26)
Following the majority of people on earth can lead you astray (6:116)
Following/Allying yourself with the Devil (22:4). Taking God's enemies as your allies (60:1)
The Devil can Mislead humans (36:62). In fact He has promised to mislead humans (4:119)
Disbelieving Humans mislead others (71:24). Humans & Jinns can lead others astray (41:29) 


Who is Misguided?
Those who do Evil/Wrong (31:11)
Those who do not Reason (25:44)
Those who Associate with God (4:116)
Those who do not Remember God (39:22) 
Those who invoke others besides God (46:5)
Those who Disobey God and His messenger (33:36)

Those who Doubt the hour, or Judgement day (42:18)
Those who Doubt/Oppose the Quran is from God (41:52)
Those who will be gathered to hell on their faces (25:34)
Those who God has cursed and set his wrath upon (5:60)
Those who follow their own desires without guidance from God (28:50)
Those who disbelieved after believing (2:108) and and increase in disbelief (3:90)
Those who Disbelieving in God, his angels, his books, his messengers, and Judgment day (4:136)
Those who favor this worldly life over the afterlife, and repel from the path of God, and seek to makeit crooked (14:3)
Those Humans and Jinns who have: Hearts which they don?t use to percieve, eyes which they don?t use to see with, and ears which they don?t use to hear with (7:179)


What does God guide with?
The Quran:
Guides to Righteousness (72:1-2)
Guides to the Truth and the Staight path (46:30)
Guides to the Most Stable/Balanced path (17:9)
Guides to the path of the Almighty, the Praiseworthy (34:6)
The Quran Is guidance and mercy for the Good doers/Nice people (31:3) for Believers (7:203, 12:111) for Submitters (16:89) for those who are certain in belief (45:20)
?With it, God guides those who seek His approval. He guides them to the paths of peace, and  leads them out of the darkness into the light by His leave, and guides them into a straight path (5:16).


Whomever God guides is the truly guided one, and whomever He sends astray, you will not find a guiding teacher for him (18:17). Proclaim, "He is The Most Gracious; we believe in Him, and we trust in Him. You will surely find out who is really far astray." (67:29)

Blessed is the Lord God, the Most Supreme High god!
تبارك الله رب العالمين
ברוך יהוה מלך העולמים

Peace be with you as well. Thanks, i actually had this as a draft and left it for a couple of months, Thanks to God that i got to finish it today.
Personally, i take 56:79 to mean that we would have to be pure/wash our hands before touching the Quran. Because the word here is "pure", and during ablution/wudu, God wants to make us "pure" 5:6.... This is where i would claim that Ablution/wudu/washing hands would have to be done before touching the Quran as per 56:79, since only the pure can touch it, and again, by doing ablution, we become more pure as per 5:6.

Well i respect your interpretation. Everyone has slightly different views depending on there level of understanding. To me the verses are metaphoric and too serious to just mean simply "wash your hands prior to touching the the Quran" Look at it this way anyone can grasp the quran  after they wash there hands. What would be the point of God swearing that 'none can grasp it except those pure' if a idol worshiper can simply hold the Quran (physically) without washed hands??? Its more obvious to me to mean something much more profound that. Also the verses never expressly commanded anyone to 'wash there hands prior to reading or using the Quran'  .

56:75 I do swear by the positions of the stars. (God is making an oath. This must be taken seriously)
56:76 This is an oath, if you only knew, that is great.
56:77 It is an honorable Quran.
56:78 In a protected record. (means a guarded book)
56:79 None can grasp it except those pure. (since it is guarded the book it is only made accessibly to the sincere. Pure is methaphoric)
56:80 A revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

Knowledge and understanding of the Quran is only meant for those who sincerely seek knowledge (the pure). And according to the Quran guidance is in stages.

May God guide us all. This is my interpretation according to my level of understanding.

Peace,
Kevin

A book and its content is an object. Even if the word of GOD is written on it.

I respect your understanding as well, now i could relate to it when i checked the Arabic.

I'm not sure if i'm going to added  in the Manuscript which i'm currently working on. May God Almighty Support us.

Peace Good logic

I agree in the translation of the word. But not is what it means . For example look at these two sentences

?You must have a clean heart to take the sword.?  ?The definition of the word ?clean? is derived from the context of the sentence and common sense. For example you cannot literally clean your heart. Here clean must mean ?a pure heart?
?You must have clean hands before doing surgery.? ? The meaning of this sentence clearly means the washing of hands or personally cleanness.

The same is true with these verses:

56:75 I do swear by the positions of the stars. (God is making an oath. This must be taken seriously)
56:76 This is an oath, if you only knew, that is great.
56:77 It is an honorable Quran.
56:78 In a protected record. (means a guarded book)
56:79 None can grasp it except those pure. (since it is guarded the book it is only made accessibly to the sincere. Pure is methaphoric)
56:80 A revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

What would be the point of God saying that the Quran is in a ?protected record? if every ?ordinary bystander? can touch the Quran by simply buying the book or going to the library??? How is the book protected then???  So obviously the meaning of these verse are much more profound than simply washing of the hands(cleanness of the body).  It is the mind that must be pure.  Not the body. A pure/sincere mind leads to understanding.

May God guide us all

Kevin

Peace youssef4342.

I meant a book is just that. The writing in it does not change it. We do not need to wash. We need to set our mind to receive the word of GOD. Purify our thought. Get ready to learn and accept.
Also if we are reading/studying using a computer or listening to scripture on TV/Video/CD... We need to purify our mind.
Peace

Peace be with you guys as well.
Well, whichever your belief is. Logically one should show some respect to a scripture...
