Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(So set thy purpose) your own self and work ((O Muhammad) for religion as a man by nature upright) He says: make your religion and work sincere to Allah and be straight in following the religion of Islam (the nature (framed) of Allah) the religion of Allah, (in which He hath created man) in the wombs of their mothers; it is also said that this means: follow the Day of the Covenant. (There is no altering (the laws of) Allah's creation) there is no altering of the religion of Allah. (That is the right religion) the straight truth, (but most men know not) that the true religion of Allah is Islam.
