15-1. That is, they affirm and benefit from them.

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.
