"SO, IF THEY BELIEVE IN THE LIKE OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, THEY HAVE CERTAINLY FOUND THE RIGHT PATH..."
In this verse the immediate addressee of the phrase "you believe" are the Holy Prophet ﷺ and his blessed Companions. So this verse lays down the fundamental principle that the only Iman acceptable to Allah is the one which was adopted by the Holy Prophet SAW and his Companions, and that any doctrines and beliefs that deviate from it in the least are neither valid nor acceptable to Allah. That is to say, one should believe in Allah and His attributes, in the angels, in the books of Allah, in the messengers and prophets of Allah and in their teachings exactly in the same manner as the Holy Prophet SAW and the blessed Companions did, without adding anything to it, or taking something out of it, and without interpreting it differently from how it has been interpreted by Rasool Allah SAW.
