English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 43
So direct your face toward the correct religion before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no repelling. That Day, they will be divided.
But set thou thy face to the right Religion before there come from Allah the Day which there is no chance of averting: on that Day shall men be divided (in two).
So turn your face exclusively towards the True Faith before there comes the Day whose coming from Allah cannot be averted, the Day when people will split into groups.
So set you (O Muhammad SAW) your face to (the obedience of Allah, your Lord) the straight and right religion (Islamic Monotheism), before there comes from Allah a Day which none can avert it. On that Day men shall be divided [(in two groups), a group in Paradise and a group in Hell].
So set thy purpose resolutely for the right religion, before the inevitable day cometh from Allah. On that day mankind will be sundered-
So set your face upright to the most upright religion even before there comes up from Allah a Day without turning (back); upon that Day they will be sundered apart.
[Prophet], stand firm in your devotion to the upright religion, before an irresistible Day comes from God. On that Day, mankind will be divided:
پس آپ اپنا رخ اس سچے اور سیدھے دین کی طرف ہی رکھیں قبل اس کے کہ وه دن آجائے جس کا ٹل جانا اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف سے ہے ہی نہیں، اس دن سب متفرق ہو جائیں گے
Quran 30 Verse 43 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Ar-Rum ayat 43, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
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.”
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.
Here Allah commands His servants to hasten to obedience to Him and to hasten to do good deeds.
(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.
(On that Day men shall be divided.) means, they will be separated, with one group in Paradise and another in Hell. Allah says:
(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.
(Verily, He likes not the disbelievers.) yet He is still just with them and does not oppress them.
