Some have said that God’s address to Nafs al-Mutma’inna, with “Return to your Lord!”, is on the Day of Judgment that believers want to enter the Paradise. Some people believe that this address is given at the time of death. ‘Allama Tabataba’i accepted the second opinion. Also, from his point of view, “Then enter among My servants” shows that Nafs al-Mutma’inna [the soul at peace] has reached the position of perfect servitude. It means a position in which the person wills nothing except what God wills.

In Imam | In [[Imam Khomeini]]’s opinion, Nafs al-Mutma'inna is the soul that no longer has any desires. According to him, the soul becomes confident when it reaches absolute perfection.

According to a hadith from [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] in the [[Tafsir Furat al-Kufi (book)|commentary of Furat Kufi]] and [[Shawahid at-tanzil]], this verse is about Imam 'Ali (a).
