Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Encouragement to obey Allah before the Day of ResurrectionWhen Allah tells us about the horrors and terrifying events of the Day of Resurrection, He warns us about it and commands us to prepare for it:اسْتَجِيبُواْ لِرَبِّكُمْ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌ لاَّ مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ(Answer the Call of your Lord before there comes from Allah a Day which cannot be averted.
