Explanatory translation

7Of course, their words about who is mad and who is on the right path mean nothing! For your Lord knows best who fails to use his reason, chooses destruction, and strays from the right path. And He knows best who has attained guidance and who is on the right path. Allah, who knows everything hidden and open, is witness that you are on the right path and that those polytheists, by contrast, have strayed from tawhid.
