“Turn your face single-mindedly to the true Faith and adhere to the true nature on which Allah has created human beings. The mould fashioned by Allah cannot be altered. That is the True, Straight Faith, although most people do not know.”
(Al Qur’ān 30:30)
This ayah implies that when the reality has become clear to a person, and he has come to know that none but Allah is the Creator and Master and Sovereign of this universe and of man himself, inevitably his conduct should be such as indicated here.
“Turn your face single-mindedly to the true Faith” meansthat wedo not turn our face to any other direction after we have adopted this way of life. Then we should think like a Muslim and our likes and dislikes should be of a Muslim. Our values and standards should be the ones set by Islam and our character and conduct should bear the stamp of Islam, and the affairs of our individual and collective life should be ordered according to the teachings of Islam.
“This Faith” means the Faith that the Qur’ān presents, in which none but Allah is worthy of worship and obedience.
The ayah also says that all human beings have been created on the nature that none but One Allah is their Creator and Lord and Deity. They should be steadfast on this nature. If they adopt the attitude of independence, they will be following a way opposed to their nature, and if they serve and worship anyone besides Allah, they will be working against their nature.
