question #3 Sahih Muslim 25a, Book 1, Hadith 41 : What does the Quranic verse reveal about the limitations of human influence in spiritual matters?

Make a profession of it that there is no god but Allah and I will bear testimony (of your being a Muslim) on the Day of judgment. But he (Abu Talib) refused to do so. Then Allah revealed this verse:
” Verily thou canst not guide to the right path whom thou lovest. And it is Allah Who guideth whom He will and He knoweth best who are the guided” (xxviii. 56).
