30. 1. That is, the One Allah alone is the Lord and also the only One worthy of worship. It is not that Lordship is acknowledged but others are also associated in worship.
30. 2. That is, they remained steadfast on faith and monotheism even in the most severe circumstances, did not deviate from it. Some have interpreted steadfastness as sincerity, meaning they worshipped and obeyed only Allah alone, as is also mentioned in the hadith: A person said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "Tell me something so that I do not need to ask anyone else after you." He ﷺ said, "Say: I believe in Allah, then remain steadfast." (Sahih Muslim, Book of Faith)
30. 3. That is, at the time of death. Some say the angels give this glad tidings at three places: at the time of death, in the grave, and when being raised from the grave.
30. 4. That is, do not fear the circumstances that will occur in the Hereafter, and do not grieve over the wealth and children you have left behind in the world.
30. 5. That is, the promise that was given to you in the world.
