Surah Al-Mulk
Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Mulk: two paths from the same spot, one straight smooth path lit by sunshine leading up a green hill, the other twisting into dark tangled thorny bushes
Al-Mulk 67:22

The straight path

أَفَمَن يَمْشِى مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦٓ أَهْدَىٰٓ أَمَّن يَمْشِى سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ ٢٢

Surah mind map
The meaning, simply

Is the one who walks stumbling on his face, not knowing where he goes, better guided, or the one who walks upright on a clear straight path? This is an example of the disbeliever and the believer.
