74 Preface إِلّا عِبادَ اللَّهِ المُخلَصينَYusuf AliExcept the sincere (and devoted)1 Servants of God.But there is always a band of sincere and devoted men who serve God, and the highest spiritual life is open to them (Cf. 37:160). Note that this verse occurs at 37:40 above, where the argument of the difference between the fates of the righteous and the unrighteous was begun. Here it is rounded off with the same phrase, and now we proceed to take illustrations from the early Prophets.
