[Pooya/Ali Commentary 15:39] These verses say that a very large number of people succumb to the temptations of Iblis except a handful of sincere and purified servants of Allah. We know that the thoroughly purified servants of Allah are only the Ahl ul Bayt (Ahzab: 33). The Holy Prophet and his Ahl ul Bayt are the mukhlisin. Though they were sent in this world in the progeny of Adam, they are altogether a separate class of beings created of light and endowed with special divine attributes, therefore the other children of Adam, whom he deceives without effort, cannot be compared to them. From cradle to grave the mukhlisin remained free from every kind of sin, pollution or shortcomings. They were the perfect models of godliness who always manifested divine attributes for the guidance of mankind in every age (see an-amta alayhim in al Fatihah: 7). Being the thoroughly purified souls, free from any evil influence, they were beyond the reach of devilish allurements. When a soul attains such excellence Allah takes it under His mercy and grace which protect it under all circumstances. The fate of the unjust who fall prey to his plotting has been described in his own words in verse 22 of Ibrahim.
