Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Command to the Believers to have Taqwa and speak the TruthHere Allah commands His servants to have Taqwa of Him, worshipping Him as if they can see Him, and toقَوْلاً سَدِيداً(speak (always) the truth.) meaning, to speak in a straightforward manner, with no crookedness or distortion. He promises them that if they do that, He will reward them by making their deeds righteous, i.e., enabling them to do righteous deeds, and He will forgive them their past sins.
