And those who came after them; they would pray: "Oh, our Lord! You forgive us and our brothers who preceded us with belief, and You shouldn’t make hatred in our hearts towards those who believed, Our Lord! Indeed, You are the Kind, the Merciful."
The believers who are included in the party of Allah mentioned in verse 58: 22 have identified the Truth that the souls of all creatures are from the Lord and that the body, which is the vehicle for the soul to travel, is only different, and are always remembering the teaching of the Lord through His Messenger that none can become a believer until he likes for others whatever he likes for himself, and are living here as the vicegerent of Allah by seeing Him from Adhikr. They are learning Adhikr and are teaching and propagating It to the entire mankind irrespective of nation, caste, religion, sex, color, etc. Such are only one in a thousand, as taught by the Lord through His Messenger, as the explanation of verse 4: 118. Since many among the preceding believers are unknown to the believers who came later, through this verse, the believers are commanded to pray: “You forgive us and our brothers who preceded before us with belief.” See explanation 7: 43; 9: 71-72; 23: 51-53; 33: 35; and 47: 19.
