فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ ٱلْقَيِّمِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌۭ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ يَصَّدَّعُونَ
سُورَةُ الرُّومِ
43
English — Sahih International
So direct your face toward the correct religion before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no repelling. That Day, they will be divided.
اردو — مودودی
پس (اے نبیؐ) اپنا رُخ مضبوطی کے ساتھ جما دو اِس دین راست کی سمت میں قبل اس کے کہ وہ دن آئے جس کے ٹل جانے کی کوئی صورت اللہ کی طرف سے نہیں ہے اُس دن لوگ پھَٹ کر ایک دُوسرے سے الگ ہو جائیں گے
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Oleh karena itu, hadapkanlah wajahmu kepada agama yang lurus (Islam) sebelum datang dari Allah suatu hari yang tidak dapat ditolak (kedatangannya): pada hari itu mereka terpisah-pisah.
Ibn Kathir
The Command to follow the Straight Path before the Day of Resurrection
Here Allah commands His servants to hasten to obedience to Him and to hasten to do good deeds.
فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينَ الْقِيِّمِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌ لاَّ مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ
(So, set you your face to the straight and right religion, before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert.) The Day of Resurrection, for when Allah wants it to happen, no one will be able to avert it.
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ
(On that Day men shall be divided.) means, they will be separated, with one group in Paradise and another in Hell. Allah says:
مَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَـلِحاً فَلاًّنفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ لِيَجْزِىَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ مِن فَضْلِهِ
(Whosoever disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds, then such will prepare a good place for themselves. That He may reward those who believe. and do righteous good deeds, out of His bounty.) meaning that He may reward them from His bounty, in return for one good deed, he will get the reward for ten, up to seven hundred like it, as much as Allah wills.
إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْكَـفِرِينَ
(Verily, He likes not the disbelievers.) yet He is still just with them and does not oppress them.
المُيَسَّر
فوجِّه وجهك -أيها الرسول- نحو الدين المستقيم، وهو الإسلام، منفذًا أوامره مجتنبًا نواهيه، واستمسك به من قبل مجيء يوم القيامة، فإذا جاء ذلك اليوم الذي لا يقدر أحد على ردِّه تفرقت الخلائق أشتاتًا متفاوتين؛ ليُروا أعمالهم.
