53. 1. This straight path is Islam. Allah has attributed it to Himself, which clarifies the greatness and majesty of this path and also points to it being the only way of salvation.

53. 2. That is, on the Day of Resurrection, all matters will be decided by Allah alone; in this is a severe warning.
