Indeed, we used to supplicate1 Him before. Indeed, it is He who is the Beneficent, the Merciful."
- - i.e., worship.
Brief commentary
We used to worship Him in our worldly life and we used to pray to Him to protect us from the fire of hell. He is Beneficent to His servants and Merciful to them. Part of His beneficence and mercy upon us is that He guided us to faith, entered us into Paradise and distanced us from the fire.”
