29 Preface قُل أَمَرَ رَبّي بِالقِسطِ ۖ وَأَقيموا وُجوهَكُم عِندَ كُلِّ مَسجِدٍ وَادعوهُ مُخلِصينَ لَهُ الدّينَ ۚ كَما بَدَأَكُم تَعودونَYusuf AliSay: “My Lord hath commanded justice; and that ye set your whole selves (to Him)1 at every time and place of prayer, and call upon Him, making your devotion sincere as in His sight: such as He created you2 in the beginning, so shall ye return.”For wajh, see 2:112 and n. 114. Our devotion should be sincere, not as in other men’s sight, but by presenting our whole selves, heart and soul, to God. Even so, it may not be enough; for the sight of our heart and soul may be faulty. We should call upon God to give us the light, by which our sincerity may commend itself to Him as true sincerity “as in His sight”.Cf. 6:94. Our sincerity should be real sincerity, as in His sight, for when we return to Him, we shall be stripped of all pretence, even such self-deception as may satisfy us in this life (see also 29:65 and 31:32).
