ٱلْأَنْعَام : ١٥٣

  • وَأَنَّ And that
  • هَٰذَا this
  • صِرَٰطِي (is) My path
  • مُسۡتَقِيمٗا straight
  • فَٱتَّبِعُوهُۖ so follow it
  • وَلَا And (do) not
  • تَتَّبِعُواْ follow
  • ٱلسُّبُلَ the (other) paths
  • فَتَفَرَّقَ then they will separate
  • بِكُمۡ you
  • عَن from
  • سَبِيلِهِۦۚ His path
  • ذَٰلِكُمۡ That
  • وَصَّىٰكُم (He) has enjoined on you
  • بِهِۦ [with it]
  • لَعَلَّكُمۡ so that you may
  • تَتَّقُونَ become righteous
And, [moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from His way. This has He instructed you that you may become righteous.
And that (read anna, with laam [of li-anna, 'because'] being implied, or inna, as beginning a new sentence) this, that I have charged you with, is My straight path (mustaqeeman, 'straight', is a circumstantial qualifier), so follow it; and do not follow other ways, paths opposed to it, lest it separate you (tafarraqa: one of the two letters taa' [of the original tatafarraqa] has been omitted) make you incline, away from His way, His religion. This is what He has ordained for you, that perhaps you will be God-fearing'.
