Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Command to follow the Straight Path before the Day of ResurrectionHere 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.
