Nay, there is a duty incumbent over them in this regard; but whoever fulfils his covenant, the one he has made or the covenant of God, by restoring a trust and other such things, and has fear, of God, by refraining from disobedience and performing deeds of obedience, for truly God loves the God-fearing; `He loves them' means that He will reward them (the overt noun [al-muttaqn, `the God-fearing'] has replaced the [third person] pronominalisation).

بَلَى مَنْ أَوْفَى بِعَهْدِهِ وَاتَّقَى

Yes, whoever fulfills his pledge and fears Allah much,

fulfills his promise and fears Allah among you, O People of the Book, regarding the covenant Allah took from you to believe in Muhammad when he is sent, just as He took the same covenant from all Prophets and their nations. Whoever avoids Allah's prohibitions, obeys Him and adheres to the Shariah that He sent with His Final Messenger and the master of all mankind.

فَإِنَّ اللّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُتَّقِينَ



verily, then Allah loves the Muttaqin.
