When he [Moses] made his way towards Midian, he said, ‘Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the right way.’ (Quran 28:22)

But if they press you to associate something with Me about which you have no knowledge, do not obey them. Yet be kind to them in this world and follow the path of those who turn to Me. You will all return to Me in the end, and I will tell you everything that you have done. (Quran 31:15)
