10:100 “No one can believe save by the leave of Allâh,” means that we only can believe in the Truth by virtue of Allâh’s guidance and our God-given ability to discriminate between right and wrong. It does not mean that Allâh would prevent someone from believing despite their sincere efforts. Since a human beings freedom of moral choice expresses itself in his adoption or rejection of conforming to his God-willed nature, it can be said to depend, in the last resort, on Allâh’s leave. It also indicates that one cannot attain true belief by mere lip service to certain doctrines. “By the leave of Allâh” also signifies “by the observance of the laws of Allâh”.
