Al-An'am 6:153

Word by word

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

And, [moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from His way. This has He instructed you that you may become righteous.

ومما وصاكم الله به أن هذا الإسلام هو طريق الله تعالى المستقيم فاسلكوه، ولا تسلكوا سبل الضلال، فتفرقكم، وتبعدكم عن سبيل الله المستقيم. ذلكم التوجه نحو الطريق المستقيم هو الذي وصَّاكم الله به; لتتقوا عذابه بفعل أوامره، واجتناب نواهيه.
