فَأَقِمْ وَجْهَكَ لِلدِّينِ ٱلْقَيِّمِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِىَ يَوْمٌ لَّا مَرَدَّ لَهُۥ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَصَّدَّعُونَ Qur’an Ar-Rum (30:43)
Faaqim wajhaka li l ddeeni alqayyimi min qabli an yatiya yawmun l a maradda lahu mina All a hi yawmai th in ya ss addaAAoon a
Set, then, thy face steadfastly towards the one ever-true faith,41 ere there come from God a Day [of reckoning- the Day] which cannot be averted. On that Day all will be sundered:
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

See verse {30} above, as well as the corresponding notes; also 3:19 - "the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him".

Therefore stand firm in your devotion to the true faith before that Day arrives on which there will be no chance of averting from Allah. On that Day, they shall be divided in two groups.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
So be steadfast in the Upright Faith 'O Prophet', before the coming of a Day from Allah that cannot be averted. On that Day the people will be divided:
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
So set thy purpose resolutely for the right religion, before the inevitable day cometh from Allah. On that day mankind will be sundered--
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
But set thou thy face to the right Religion before there come from Allah the Day which there is no chance of averting: on that Day shall men be divided (in two). 3559 3560
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The sharp division will then have been accomplished between the unfortunate ones who rejected Truth and Faith and will suffer for their rejection, and the righteous who will attain Peace and Salvation: see next verse. Note that the state of the Blessed will not be merely a passive state. They will actively earn and contribute to their own happiness.

We should recover the balance that has been upset by Evil and Falsehood before it is too late. For a Day will surely come when true values will be restored and all falsehood and evil will be destroyed. Nothing but repentance and amendment can avert the consequences of Evil. When the Day actually comes, repentance will be too late: for the impassable barrier between Evil and Good will have been fixed, and the chance of return to Allah's pattern will have been lost.
