Surah Al-An'am (6:90)

اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ الَّذِيۡنَ هَدَى اللّٰهُ فَبِهُدٰٮهُمُ اقۡتَدِهۡ ؕ قُلْ لَّاۤ اَسۡــَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ اَجۡرًا ؕ اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٰى لِلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ‏ ۝

Ola-ika allatheena hadaAllahu fabihudahumu iqtadih qul la as-alukumAAalayhi ajran in huwa illa thikra lilAAalameen

Those are the ones whom Allāh has guided, so from their guidance take an example. Say, "I ask of you for it i.e., this message no payment. It is not but a reminder for the worlds."

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Warning Against Sins: Avoiding all sins, both apparent and hidden, leads to accountability.

The Insight

Believers are commanded to abandon all sins, whether apparent or hidden, as all will be fully accounted for. **Practice total moral cleanliness.** Be vigilant over both your public actions (apparent sins) and your private thoughts and intentions (hidden sins). Sincerity requires guarding both.
