Surah At-Takwir — 81:28

لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ

Liman shaaa'a minkum ai yastaqeem

(یعنی) اس کے لیے جو تم میں سے سیدھی چال چلنا چاہے

for whoever among you wills to walk straight.

Reflection

The same construction turns up in 74:37, where the one who wills is offered two directions, forward or back. Here a single direction is named, and it arrives as istiqāma, the verb behind the straight road asked for in every prayer, which makes straightness something a person does instead of a place they stand.
