Follow not other but the Right Way

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ مَالَ ٱلْيَتِيمِ إِلَّا بِٱلَّتِى هِىَ أَحْسَنُ حَتَّىٰ يَبْلُغَ أَشُدَّهُۥ وَأَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَوَٱلْمِيزَانَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا وَإِذَا قُلْتُمْ فَٱعْدِلُوا۟ وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰ وَبِعَهْدِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْفُوا۟ ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّىٰكُم بِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ 152

وَأَنَّ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطِى مُسْتَقِيمًا فَٱتَّبِعُوهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ ٱلسُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِۦ ذَٰلِكُمْ وَصَّىٰكُم بِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ 153

152b. and fulfill the covenant of Allah. This He commandeth you that haply ye may remember- 153.  And (He commandeth you, saying): This is My Straight Path, so follow it. And follow not other ways, lest ye be parted from His Way. This hath He ordained for you, that ye may ward off (evil).

152b.  Wa  bi-‘ahDillaahi  ‘aw-fuu.  Zaalikum  wassaakum-  bihii  la- ‘allakum  tazakkaruun. 153.  Wa  ‘anna haazaa  SiraaTii  Musta-qiiman-  fattabi-‘uuh.  Wa  laa  tattabi-‘us-subula  fatafarraqa  bikum  ‘an-  sabiiliH.  Zaalikum  wassaakum-  bihii  la-‘allakum  tattaquun.

Commentary

Those commands, which have been described in the beginning of this Section, in that connection, some more orders have been mentioned in this verse.

It is commanded that believing in Allah Almighty is, as though, fulfilling the covenant that we shall obey Your (God’s) entire commands without any dispute. It cannot be so, that one believes in Allah Almighty, even then, disobeys Him. Actually that person has not believed in Allah Almighty, who disobeyed Him. That individual took responsibility to obey, who believed. So you should fulfill this covenant.

These commands are being caused to hear you so that you may remember your covenant and may not slip after accepting. One more object to recite this command is that the Straight Path of Allah Almighty may be manifested upon you. Therefore, you should listen to those, which verses are being recited before you; it is the appointed Straight Path of Allah Almighty. It was taught you in Surah ‘Al-Faatihah (Chapter – 1) that you should pray from Allah Almighty: ‘Ihdinas-Siraatal-Mustaqiim. (Show us the Straight Path). Now, that Straight Path has been manifested on you. So you should hold fast this Path. If you will go the way other than this, you will go astray.

It is learnt from this verse that the Muslims should be saved from their mutual dissensions because one Religion and one Path has been fixed for them and they have been guided to remain firm on It. If they differed, then it is clear that they all will go separate paths instead of adopting One Path. It has been warned that you should not seek other paths leaving the One, otherwise you will lose your Way. Support of union and badness of dissension comes out from this lesson.
