 11:112

فَٱسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ وَلاَ تَطْغَوْاْ إِنَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

 

Fastaqim kamaaa umirta wa man taaba ma'aka wa laa tatghaw; innahoo bimaa ta'maloona Baseer

 

The Aya says:

Therefore, straighten up (O Muhammad) as you were ordered and those who redeemed themselves with you.  And do not do excesses.  He is indeed what you do seeing.

 

My personal note:

The Aya is a call to us to be upright and not to get into excesses

 

Translation of transliterated words:

Fastaqim: therefore straighten up
