سُوْرَةُ يُوْنُسَ
Surah Yunus (10) — Ayah 89
قَالَ قَدْ أُجِيبَت دَّعْوَتُكُمَا فَٱسْتَقِيمَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعَآنِّ سَبِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ﴿89﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Allâh said: "Verily, the invocation of you both is accepted. So you both keep to the Straight Way (i.e. keep on doing good deeds and preaching Allâh’s Message with patience), and follow not the path of those who know not (the truth i.e. to believe in the Oneness of Allâh, and also to believe in the Reward of Allâh: Paradise)."

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan.

The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
89. Allah said: Your prayer has been accepted. So remain steadfast, both of you, and do not follow the path of those [99] who do not know.

The Importance of Patience and Steadfastness for Success:
In response to the prayers of the prophets, Allah Almighty instructed them and the community of Muslims to observe patience, steadfastness, and perseverance. He also commanded that those who consider the ultimate goal of success in life to be merely the wealth, riches, and splendor of this world should not be given any attention whatsoever, because their viewpoint is based purely on ignorance. Allah Almighty will soon deliver you from such people.
