Sura 6
Aya 153
153
وَأَنَّ هٰذا صِراطي مُستَقيمًا فَاتَّبِعوهُ ۖ وَلا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُم عَن سَبيلِهِ ۚ ذٰلِكُم وَصّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُم تَتَّقونَ

Yusuf Ali

Verily, this is My way, leading straight: follow it: follow not (other) paths: they will scatter you about from His (great) path: thus doth He command you. that ye may be righteous.1
  • Note again the refrain with variations, in 6:151, 152 and 153. In verse 151, we have the moral law, which it is for our own good to follow: “Thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom:” In verse 152, we have to deal justly and rightly with others; we are apt to think too much of ourselves and forget others: “Thus doth He command you, that ye may remember:” In verse 153 our attention is called to the Straight Way, the Way of God, the only Way that leads to righteousness: “Thus doth He command you, that ye may be righteous.”
