Its root in the classical dictionaries
الغي: جهل من اعتقاد فاسد، وذلك أن الجهل قد يكون من كون الإنسان غير معتقد اعتقادا لا صالحا ولا فاسدا، وقد يكون من اعتقاد شيء فاسد، وهذا النحو الثاني يقال له غي. قال تعالى: ما ضل صاحبكم وما غوى
الغين والواو والحرف المعتل بعدهما أصلان: أحدهما يدل على خلاف الرشد وإظلام الأمر، والآخر على فساد في شيء.
"Of no profit will be
My counsel to you,
Much as I desire
To give you (good) counsel,
If it be that God
Willeth to leave you astray:
He is your Lord!
And to Him will ye return!"
(Iblīs) said: "O my Lord!
Because Thou hast put me
In the wrong, I will
Make (wrong) fair-seeming
To them on the earth,
And I will put them
All in the wrong,—
Those against whom the charge
Will be proved, will say:
"Our Lord! These are the ones
Whom we led astray:
We led them astray, as we
Were astray ourselves: we free
Ourselves (from them) in Thy presence:
It was not us they worshipped."
