This verse is a plea for divine guidance. It reflects the believer’s constant need to remain upon the path of righteousness — the path that leads to the pleasure of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى), avoiding misguidance and confusion. It is a universal supplication — whether one is a new seeker or a seasoned worshipper, this need never ends.
This verse is not just a request — it's a lifelong need. For every heart that seeks truth, the Straight Path begins with sincerity and du‘ā.
And as always, لله أعلم (God knows best).
