إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا وَأَصْلَحُوا وَاعْتَصَمُوا بِاللَّهِ وَأَخْلَصُوا دِينَهُمْ لِلَّهِ فَأُولَئِكَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَسَوْفَ يُؤْتِ اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا
except for those who repent and reform, and hold fast to Allah and dedicate their religion [exclusively] to Allah. Those are with the faithful, and soon Allah will give the faithful a great reward.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 4:146
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 4:146] Those who sincerely turn repentant to Allah, amend, hold fast to Allah and make their religion pure for Allah are with the believers. Holding fast to Allah is not possible unless a wasila (approach) is available as per verse 35 of al-Ma-idah.
