Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Command to Stand Firm and Straight

Allah says;

فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلَا تَطْغَوْاْ

So stand (ask Allah to make) you firm and straight as you are commanded and those who turn in repentance with you, and transgress not.

Allah, the Exalted, commands His Messenger and His believing servants to be firm and to always be upright. This is of the greatest aid for gaining victory over the enemy and confronting the opposition.

Allah also forbids transgression, which is to exceed the bounds (of what is allowed). Verily, transgression causes destruction to its practitioner, even if the transgression was directed against a polytheist.

إِنَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ



Verily, He is All-Seer of what you do.

Allah informs that He is All-Seer of the actions of His servants. He is not unaware of anything and nothing is hidden from Him.
