Quote:
{74:31} And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does God intend by this as an example?" Thus does God leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.

The Arabic called the keepers of the Fire "the companions of the Fire." It's not because they are in it, it's because they are always there guarding it.

I believe that the correct grammar for the italicized "guides" is "guide" because it's added to "leave". And the italicized "Him" should be "He."
