Translation: "And follow the Best 4326 of (the courses) revealed
to you from your Lord, before the Penalty comes on
you - of a sudden while you perceive not!-
Commentary:
4326 Cf. 39:18, and n. 4269. Allah's Command meets the weakness of His
weakest servants, and only asks that His servants should surrender their selfish will
to Allah's Will. In divine compassion, therefore, we are allowed to do just what we
can, even though our standard should fall short of the highest standard, and
Allah's Grace will come to our assistance. But we must do so in this life—and at
once, as soon as the Word penetrates our mind or understanding. We must not
delay a moment, for the Judgement may come at any time, suddenly, before we
even perceive where we are.
