Commentary
To worship Allāh and to abandon polytheism is in fact to accept the Islamic life and adhere to it, because the greatest and clearest difference between Islam and disbelief is Tawḥīd (the servitude to Allāh) and the abandonment of Shirk. So those who perform these deeds will fulfill the rights due to Allāh and consequently escape punishment.
