Surah Ghafir ayat 38 Tafsir Quran 40:38

﴿وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ﴾
[ غافر: 38]

40:38 And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct.

And he who believed ‘O my people! Follow me read ittabi‘ūnī with the final long yā’ or ittabi‘ūni without; I will guide you to the way of rectitude a similar statement has already been mentioned verse 29 above.

Then said he whose heart had been touched with the divine hand: O people: follow me and keep up with my train of thoughts; I will lead you to the path of righteousness

And the man who believed said: "O my people! Follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct.
( 38 )"O my people! Truly, this life of the world is nothing but an enjoyment, and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain forever.
( 39 )"Whoever does an evil deed, will not be requited except the like thereof; and whosoever does a righteous deed, whether male or female and is a true believer, such will enter Paradise, where they will be provided therein without limit.
( 40 ) More of what the Believer from Fir'awn's Family said This believer said to his people who persisted in their rebellion and transgression, and preferred the life of this world: يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ ( O my people! Follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct. ) This is in contrast to the false claim of Fir'awn: وَمَا أَهْدِيكُمْ إِلَّا سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ ( and I guide you only to the path of right policy. ) Then he sought to make them shun this world which they preferred to the Hereafter, and which had prevented them from believing in the Messenger of Allah, Musa, peace be upon him.
He said: يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا مَتَاعٌ ( O my people! Truly, this life of the world is nothing but an enjoyment, ) meaning, it is insignificant and fleeting, and soon it will diminish and pass away. وَإِنَّ الْآخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ ( and verily, the Hereafter that is the home that will remain forever. ) means, the abode which will never end and from which there will be no departure, which will be either Paradise or Hell.
Allah says: مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَىٰ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۖ ( Whosoever does an evil deed, will not be requited except the like thereof; ) means, one like it. وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَٰئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ( and whosoever does a righteous deed, whether male or female and is a true believer, such will enter Paradise, where they will be provided therein without limit. ) means, the reward cannot be enumerated, but Allah will give an immense reward without end.
And Allah is the Guide to the straight path.

( And he who believed ) i.e. Ezekiel ( said: O my people! Follow me ) follow my religion. ( I will show you the way of right conduct ) I will invite you to the Truth and guidance.
