Arabic vocabulary
الْهُدَى is how you say “guidance” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَإِبْلِيسُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ قَاطِعُ طَرِيقِ الْعُقْبَى لِيَصُدَّكُمْ عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَالْهُدَى
So Iblis, may God curse him, is a blocker of the path to the ultimate goal, seeking to turn you away from the truth and guidance.
وَالْهُدَى — and guidance. The 'wa-' here is a plain list 'and' coupling 'guidance' onto 'the truth' before it, so both share the same role under 'from'. The noun inherits the genitive ending from that shared preposition; the pair names jointly what you are turned away from.
