﴾15﴿ Say: Shall I inform you of something better than those (worldly pleasures)? For those who guard themselves (from shirk), with their Lord are Gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever, and pure spouses, and the pleasure of Allah. And Allah is All-Seeing of His servants.
﴾16﴿ They are those who say, “Our Lord, indeed we have believed, so forgive us our sins and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
﴾17﴿ They are the ones who are patient, truthful, obedient, those who spend (in charity), and those who seek forgiveness in the early hours of the morning.
﴾18﴿ Allah has declared that none is worthy of worship except Him, and the angels and those of knowledge uphold it with justice. There is no one to fulfill needs except Allah. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.

[15] This verse contains glad tidings for those who respond to the call of tawḥīd (the oneness of Allah). It stands in contrast to the worldly pleasures mentioned earlier. However, in the Hereafter, the attainment of Paradise first requires taqwā—guarding oneself from shirk—which is the foundational level of faith.
[16] This is a characteristic of the righteous servants—showing their humility before Allah and their repentance for past sins. It also indicates that faith is the best means for attaining forgiveness and protection.
[17] These five qualities of the righteous are prerequisites for entering Paradise initially.
In the previous verse, only taqwā was mentioned—meaning that pure (sincere) faith is the cause of entering Paradise.
In this verse: Ṣabr (patience) is worship of the heart,
Ṣidq (truthfulness) is worship of the tongue,
Qunūt (obedience) is worship of the limbs,
Infāq (charity) is financial worship,
and Istighfār (seeking forgiveness) during the early dawn completes all acts of worship.
Thus, this verse outlines complete servitude, which was exemplified first and foremost by the noble Companions.
These qualities were not found among the Christians (of that time).
[18] From this verse up to verse 35 is the second section, dealing with the issue of Tawheed (the Oneness of Allah) and the proofs for it, along with the result—all presented in a single verse.
Then follows the answer to a question, then the method of invitation (to the truth) and the responsibilities within that call, accompanied by a warning of the Hereafter for the rejecters.
After that, the state of the People of the Book's opposition is mentioned, along with another warning of the Hereafter.
In this verse, for the claim of Tawheed, the proof from revelation is the testimony of Allah Himself.
The transmitted (narrative) evidence is the testimony of the angels and the earlier monotheists, while the rational proof lies in the phrase "بِالْقِسْطِ" (“with justice”), which, according to reason, is a statement of fairness and balance.
Then, the conclusion is mentioned: Allah’s testimony involves the revelation of the Books and the establishment of clear signs to affirm Tawheed.
This verse is also evidence of the honor and virtue of monotheistic scholars, as Allah has joined their testimony with His own.
