﴿ إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ﴾

“[all] save such of them as are truly Thy servants!"”

except those servants of Yours, that is, [except] those who are specific to You those whom You have rid of the blemishes of the attributes of the soul and whom You have purified of the filth of attachment to nature and caused to be disengaged, by [their] becoming oriented towards You, from the remnants of their attributes and essences; or those whom You have devoted their deeds sincerely to You without their being any share [in those deeds] for any other than You.
