Tafsir of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "Say, 'This is my way; I call to Allah with clear vision'"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says, regarding the call to Allah in the noble verse:
Say, "This is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me.قُلْ هَٰذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّهِ عَلَىٰ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي
[Yusuf 12:108]


Answer:
Yes, the verse is clear. First, one must be sincere to Allah in the call. His saying
I invite to Allahأَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّهِ
[Yusuf 12:108]
means that I do not call to myself, nor do I call to any of the schools of thought or any of the sects, but rather I call to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This contains sincerity in the call. And his saying "with clear vision" means with knowledge, so one does not call unless he knows what he is calling to. As for the ignorant person, he does not call; he does not call out of ignorance, because he does not know the matters to which he is calling or the matters from which he is forbidding. Yes.
