Sahih International:

Whoever Allah guides – he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray – it is those who are the losers. (Al-A'raf [7] : 178)

1 Mufti Taqi Usmani

The one whom Allah gives guidance is the one on the right path. As for those whom Allah lets go astray, those are the losers.
