Transliteration

Translation

So direct your face toward the correct religion before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no repelling. That Day, they will be divided.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

O Messenger! Turn your face in the direction of the correct religion of Islam in which there is no deviation, before the Day of Judgment comes. When it comes, there will be no one to prevent it, and on that day people will be divided: one group shall be pampered in paradise, while the other shall be punished in the hellfire.
