He Turned Away

ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعَىٰ ۝٢٢

Then turned he away in haste.

Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall

Meaning

Then he turned his back, striving.

According to Elmalılı, he did not stop; he ran and worked, but towards decline, not towards good.

Turn your effort in the right direction today.
