Straight Road

Qur'aanic Verse 67:22:

Transliteration:

22. Afaman yamshee mukibban AAala wajhihi ahda amman yamshee sawiyyan AAala siratin mustaqeemin

Translation:

22. Is he who walks falling on his face [stumbling] better guided, or he who walks upright on a straight road?²

^{Study Note:}

2. People, unsure of the purpose of human life, stumble on uncertainly in their lives. They do not often know what to do. They are like a kite with its string cut. But people who honestly and truly follow Islam are sure of the purpose of human life. They walk upright on a straight road.
