Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The State of the People of Faith and Their Reward Allah states:إِنَّمَا يُؤْمِنُ بِـَايَـتِنَا(Only those believe in Our Ayat,) means, who accept them as true,الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِّرُواْ بِهَا خَرُّواْ سُجَّداً(who, when they are reminded of them, fall down prostrate,) means, they listen to them and obey them in word and deed.وَسَبَّحُواْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ(and glorify the praises of their Lord, and they are not proud.
