« His words, Exalted is He: [79:4] By those that race forward, He said: This means the spirits of the believers which raced to be the first in [doing] good (khayr) and [acting in] conformity (muwāfaqa), and raced to be the first to respond to the Angel of Death out of longing (shawq) for their Lord. Subsequently, they departed with the most beautiful scent and the fullest joy. His words, Exalted is He: [79:16] When his Lord called out to him in the holy valley of Ṭuwa? 1 He said: Moses starved himself, emaciating himself (ṭāwiyan), devoting himself (ʿābidan) to God, Exalted is He. Then his Lord called him so that he would be closer to Him. »
