Please refer to Surah Zumar ayat 53 which provides the complete commentary from verse 53 through 59.

(39:55) Follow the best[72] of what has been revealed to you from your Lord before the chastisement suddenly comes upon you without you even being aware of it.”

Ala-Maududi

(39:55) Follow the best[72] of what has been revealed to you from your Lord before the chastisement suddenly comes upon you without you even being aware of it.”


72. “To follow the best aspect of the Book of Allah” means that one should carry out the commands Allah has given and refrain from what He has forbidden, and learn lessons from what He has brought out in the parables and narratives. As against this, the one who turns away from Allah’s commands, indulges in the forbidden things, and does not heed His admonitions, follows the worst aspect of the Book of Allah, i.e. that aspect which the divine Book has declared as the most evil.

(55) And follow the best of what was revealed to you from your Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān] before the punishment comes upon you suddenly while you do not perceive,
