The ones who make themselves safe (in Allah) are only those whose hearts flutter when Allah is mentioned and whose safety and trust (in him) is increased whenever His signs are recited/ followed upon them and upon their nurturing Lord they depend.
The Aya defines the conditions for someone who has Iman which I translated as ones who make themselves safe in Allah but it can also be translated who are working towards that safety and also towards the trust in Allah. The conditions are:
1- That the hearts react to the mention of Allah and that reaction is because of love mixed with excitement and also awe.
2- The recitation or following closely of His signs increase their safety and trust in Him and that means not only the listening to the signs but the application of the signs makes their safety and trust in Allah increase.
3- That they put their guarantees on Allah that after they have done their part, they will leave the matter in His hands and He will take care of the rest.
May Allah always increase our Iman and help us move towards Him closer and Closer.
