68. O My servants! Today you will have no fear [66], nor will you grieve.

[66] That is, those people who maintained friendships on the basis of piety, who cooperated with each other in good deeds, who made joint efforts for the establishment of Allah’s religion, and who considered the bond of religion superior to all other relationships and affections. For such servants, there will be a general proclamation from Allah that today, on the Day of Resurrection, you should have no fear of any distress, and they will not grieve over their past life. This is because they spent their lives in the world in obedience to Allah.
