(As for those who strive in Us) in Our obedience; Ibn 'Abbas said this means: those who strive for Our Word, (We surely guide them to Our paths) i.e. whoever acts upon what he knows, We shall give him success to know that which he do not know; it is also said that this means: We shall honour them with a natural aptitude, easiness and sweetness [of faith]; it is also said that this means: We shall guide them to obey Us, (and lo! Allah is with the good) He helps those who are good in their works and speech by giving them success and holding them back from transgression'.
