Ibn Abbas Commentary
(So set your purpose) set your own self and works (resolutely for the right religion) He says: make your religion and works sincere to Allah, and follow the true, straight religion, (before the inevitable day) which is the Day of Judgement (comes from Allah. On that day) the Day of Judgement (mankind will be sundered) a party of them in Paradise and a party in hell.
