[90] In these verses, the conditions of the righteous people are mentioned in contrast to the fate of the polytheists and their deities, whether or not anyone had taken them as gods. Such people will be kept so far away from Hell that they will not even hear any kind of screams or sounds from the inhabitants of Hell, and they will remain far from it, enjoying all their favorite blessings from the bounties given by Allah Almighty.
