📖 Commentary of Surah Ar-Rum – Verse 43

"Therefore set your face [95] straight to the right religion, before there comes a day from Allah, which cannot be averted [96]. On that day they shall be divided (97)."

✅ [95] Fixing the Face on the Right Path

O Muslims! After embracing faith, dedicate yourself fully to the worship of Allah Almighty. No believer is excused from this duty.
Alternatively, it can mean: O beloved, keep your gaze firmly fixed on the true Religion so that by your focus, others too are drawn towards it — since where your gaze rests, Allah’s gaze and that of all creation also follow.

✅ [96] The Unavoidable Day

This refers to the time of death or the Day of Judgement, a day decreed by Allah that cannot be delayed or averted.

✅ [97] The Day of Division

On that day, all worldly ties will dissolve — relatives will part ways.
During the Day of Judgement, the believers, disbelievers, and the pious will be distinctly separated according to their deeds and faith.

Ibn-Kathir

43. So, set you your face to the straight and right religion, before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert. On that Day men shall be divided. 44. Whosoever disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds, then such will prepare a good place for themselves. 45. That He may reward those who believe and do righteous good deeds, out of His bounty. Verily, He likes not the disbelievers.


The Command to follow the Straight Path before the Day of Resurrection

Here Allah commands His servants to hasten to obedience to Him and to hasten to do good deeds.

﴿فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينَ الْقِيِّمِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌ لاَّ مَرَدَّ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ﴾

(So, set you your face to the straight and right religion, before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert.) The Day of Resurrection, for when Allah wants it to happen, no one will be able to avert it.

﴿يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ﴾

(On that Day men shall be divided.) means, they will be separated, with one group in Paradise and another in Hell. Allah says:

﴿مَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَـلِحاً فَلاًّنفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ لِيَجْزِىَ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ مِن فَضْلِهِ﴾

(Whosoever disbelieves will suffer from his disbelief, and whosoever does righteous good deeds, then such will prepare a good place for themselves. That He may reward those who believe. and do righteous good deeds, out of His bounty.) meaning that He may reward them from His bounty, in return for one good deed, he will get the reward for ten, up to seven hundred like it, as much as Allah wills.

﴿إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْكَـفِرِينَ﴾

(Verily, He likes not the disbelievers.) yet He is still just with them and does not oppress them.

(30:43) So turn your face exclusively towards the True Faith before there comes the Day whose coming from Allah cannot be averted,[66] the Day when people will split into groups.

Ala-Maududi

(30:43) So turn your face exclusively towards the True Faith before there comes the Day whose coming from Allah cannot be averted,[66] the Day when people will split into groups.


66. That is, “The Day which neither Allah Himself will avert nor has He given power to anyone else to avert it.”

(43) So direct your face [i.e., self] toward the correct religion before a Day comes from Allāh of which there is no repelling. That Day, they will be divided.[1152]

[1152]- Into those destined for Paradise and those destined for Hell.
