The answer

Allah Almighty said: (Indeed, those for whom the best [reward] has preceded from Us - those are from it [Hell] far removed. They will not hear its sound, and they, in what their their souls desire, will abide eternally. The greatest terror will not grieve them, and the angels will meet them, [saying], "This is your Day which you have been promised.") [Al-Anbiya': 101-103]. In these verses, Allah mentioned the blessed among the believers after mentioning the people of Hell and their torment. These are those for whom happiness preceded from Allah and who had done good deeds in this world. The majority of exegetes are of the opinion that the intended meaning includes everyone who was worshipped besides Allah, while being obedient to Allah and disliking the worship of those who worshipped them.
