Commentary
This is my path. This path is the call to faith and monotheism. My path. The path can be mentioned in both masculine and feminine forms. Then he explained his path by saying, 'I call to Allah with insight.' This means I call to His religion with clear evidence, not blind. 'And I' is an affirmation of what is implied in 'I call.' 'And whoever follows me' is an addition to it. He means: I call to it, and whoever follows me calls to it. It is also possible that 'I' is the subject, and 'with insight' is a prefixed predicate. 'And whoever follows me' is an addition to 'I,' informing that he and those who follow him are upon evidence and proof, not upon desire. It is also possible that 'with insight' is a state of 'I call,' affecting the raising of 'I' and 'whoever follows me.' And glorified is Allah, and I declare Him free from partners.
