✅ [16] Fulfillment of Divine Promise

This verse refers to the fulfillment of Allah’s promise to the Prophets and the righteous.

Allah destroyed their enemies, and saved them along with those whom He willed—i.e., the believers and obedient followers.

These pious souls were granted deliverance, and in the Hereafter, eternal reward, while the extravagant (transgressors) were wiped out for their rebellion.
