45.This tells us that all the deeds of the infidels are topsy-turvy because they are without faith.All the deeds of the believers are correct because they are based on faith. The charities given by the infidels are an inverted action because it will not help him to reach his dest- ination. This is the very condition of the deeds of the believers and the infidels.
46. This means the believer in the world is treading the correct path and is moving in the correct direction. But, the infidels are on the inverted road as well, moving in the topsy-turvy direction. Are both these paths equal? Certainly not! Islam is the Straight Path. Also, obtaining correct understanding of Islam and doing correct deeds is treading on this Straight Path.
