وَ اَنَّ هٰذَا صِرَاطِیْ مُسْتَقِیْمًا فَاتَّبِعُوْهُۚ-وَ لَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَنْ سَبِیْلِهٖؕ-ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰىكُمْ بِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ(153)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And that this is My straight path so follow it;[1] and do not follow other ways lest they should divert you from His path. [2] This He has commanded you that you may become righteous.”

Commentary

[1]

Correctness of beliefs, performing acts of worship, and fulfilment of rights is the straight path; whoever errs in these matters is not upon the straight path. Creed is like the foundation without which deeds are not accepted; there are many necessary elements related to worship and agreements or transactions between people.

[2]

Here, “other ways” refers to the ways which oppose Islam, whether they are independent religions such as Judaism and Christianity or heretical claimants of Islam such as the Qādiyānī) community.
