The message contained in this Ayah of The Qurân is that believing Muslims are fully conscious of Allâh’s mercy and His compassion for them. They, are aware of the fact that their existence is only by Allâh’s will, and that everything they enjoy is granted by Him, alone. These cognizant and thankful believing Muslims also know full well that they do not need to please anyone except Allâh, alone, and hence they do not seek the help of any other being, whether alive, or dead, human, or non-human. These are people who find peace and serenity in the remembrance of Allâh, alone, without associating any partners with Him. Hence, they live in accordance with Allâh’s commandments and do good deeds for the sole purpose of earning Allâh's benevolence and good pleasure, and hope and expect for Allâh’s forgiveness and an exceptional reward in the Hereafter, as has been promised to such people in The Qurân
