The verse says: “Do they then feel secure from the enveloping punishment coming upon them from Allah...” The Day of Judgment will suddenly arrive and the Divine great court of justice will be established in order to settle their accounts while they are unaware and ignorant about it. The Divine punishment is all encompassing and there is no possibility for escape, yet they behave as if they were secure from all this.

And I am not (one) of the polytheists’.” The way of the Prophet of Islam (S) is clear and transparent to all those who want to seek guidance, and true guidance comes from Allah, thus his way is a call to Allah, the only true Reality. The verse says: “Say (O’ Our Apostle): ‘This is my way. I invite to Allah with clear sight...” Indeed, he does not follow this path without knowledge or by imitation; rather he and those who follow him traverse this path with full knowledge and insight.

This verse implies that every Muslim who follows the Prophet (S) must show the Way of Allah to others in his words and deeds. This is the path of pure monotheism, the path to Allah the One, Who is free of all defects and has no partners or companions. The verse says: “…I and whoever follows me; and glory be to Allah!
