Answer your Lord respond to Him by affirming His Oneness and worshipping Him before there comes a day namely the Day of Resurrection for which there is no revoking from God in other words one which when He brings about He will not revoke. On that day you will have no refuge in which to seek refuge in and for you there will be no way of denying your sins.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Answer the call of your Lord) by believing in Allah's divine Oneness (before there cometh unto you from Allah a Day) the Day of Judgement (which there is no averting. Ye have no refuge) no escape (on that Day) from Allah's torment, (nor have ye any (power of) refusal) nor do you have any helper.
