53 Preface صِراطِ اللَّهِ الَّذي لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَما فِي الأَرضِ ۗ أَلا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَصيرُ الأُمورُYusuf AliThe Way of God,1 to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Behold (how) all affairs tend towards God.The most comprehensive description of the Straight Way is that it is the Way of God, the Way of the Universal Law; for God is the source, centre, and goal of all things in heaven and earth. Everything goes back to Him. According to our own understanding we make our own laws, our own standards, and our own institutions. But the ultimate test of their validity or authority is God’s Will, as revealed to us by His Revelation.
