Something to note, that in Islam, everything that happens in the design of things, is ultimately attributed to God.
For example, a person sins on his own, therefore disobeys God, therefore is lead astray, and has to turn back to guidance, the Quran says that is God whom leads astray and guides. Likewise, a person disbelieves in the true religion, it's not God forcing that, but it's attributed to God.
Likewise, all things that happen in nature, is attributed to God. Therefore, if people are deceived, it is said God deceives them. It's not necessarily, that God went of the way to deceive them. It's mainly stating the system deceived them and since God is the designer of the system, it attributes such deception to him.
Anyways, that is how tafsirs explain the issue of God guiding and misguiding people.
