Flee to Allah
فَفِرُّوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۖ إِنِّي لَكُم مِّنۡهُ نَذِيرࣱ مُّبِينࣱ ٥٠
Therefor flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
So flee to Allah; I am to you from Him a clear warner.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is fleeing to Allah through faith, tawhid and obedience, to be protected from His punishment and painful torment.
Reflect
In a hardship, flee to Allah, not to people.
