15-2. That is, they honor Allah’s verses and fear His punishment.
15-3. That is, they declare their Lord free from those things which do not befit His majesty, and along with that, they praise Him for His blessings, the greatest and most complete of which is the guidance to faith. That is, in their prostrations, they recite words such as سُبْحَان اللّٰہِ وَ بِحَمْدِہٖ, سُبْحَانَ رَبِّیَ الْاَعٰلٰی وَ بَحَمْدِہٖ, etc.
15-4. That is, they adopt the path of obedience and submission. They do not act arrogantly like the ignorant and disbelievers. Because arrogance towards the worship of Allah is a cause for entering Hell. Therefore, the condition of the believers is the opposite; they always express humility, lowliness, destitution, and submissiveness before Allah.

[17] The qualities of those who believe are completely different from those who deny. There is no stubbornness, obstinacy, or enmity in their hearts; their natures are so pure that they are immediately ready to accept the truth. There is not a trace of arrogance or pride in them. Rather, when the wonders and acts of Allah are mentioned to them, their hearts tremble at the greatness of Allah, and they are immediately ready to accept the truth. Then they fall in prostration before Allah, and their tongues are filled with the praise, glorification, and sanctification of Allah. There is a prostration (sajdah) at this verse. Those who read or listen to it should perform sajdah here, so that they too may be included among those qualities which Allah has described for the believers. And Hazrat Abu Hurairah ؓ says that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite: ﴿الم تنزِيل السجدة﴾ and ﴿هَلْ اَتٰي عَلَي الْاِنْسَانِ﴾ in the Fajr prayer on Fridays.
