Ya ayyuha alladhina amanu qu anfusakum wa ahlikum naran waquduha an-nasu wa al-hijaratu 'alayha malaikatun ghilazun shidadun la ya'suna Allaha maa amarahum wa yaf'aluna maa yumaruna
O you, those who have faith, guard your selves and your families from a fire whose fuel is people and stones. Over it are stern, severe angels who do not flinch from what Allah has commanded them and they do what they are commanded
The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah, from Tafsir Ibn Kathir:
Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn Abbas... He said, "Work in the obedience of Allah, avoid disobedience of Allah and order your families to remember Allah, then Allah will save you from the Fire." Mujahid also commented... saying, "Have Taqwa of Allah and order your family to have Taqwa of Him." Qatadah said, "He commands obedience to Allah, to not disobey Allah, he orders his family to obey His orders and helps them to act upon His orders. When one sees disobedience, he stops them and forbids them from doing it." Similar was said by Ad-Dahhak and Muqatil; "It is an obligation for the Muslim to teach his near family members, and his male and female slaves what Allah has made obligatory for them and what Allah has forbidden for them"
