Section: These inner actions — such as love of Allah, sincerity to Him, reliance upon Him, and contentment with Him, and the like — are all commanded for both the elite and the common people.
وَالعَامَّةِ — and the public. A connector plus 'the common people', the second group, joined to 'the elite'. As a coordinated item it copies the owned form of the noun it is joined to, so both groups sit in the same role.
