وَمَا تَكُونُ فِي شَأْنٍ وَمَا تَتْلُو مِنْهُ مِن قُرْآنٍ وَلَا تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا كُنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ شُهُودًا إِذْ تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ وَمَا يَعْزُبُ عَن رَّبِّكَ مِن مِّثْقَالِ ذَرَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَلَا أَصْغَرَ مِن ذَلِكَ وَلَا أَكْبَرَ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ
You do not engage in any work, neither do you recite any part of the Quran, nor do you perform any deed without Our being witness over you when you are engaged therein. Not an atom’s weight escapes your Lord in the earth or in the sky, nor [is there] anything smaller than that nor bigger, but it is in a manifest Book.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 10:61
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 10:61] In the sacred tablet (lawh mahfuz) the knowledge of every thing (the tiniest of objects) in the universe is preserved together with the will of the omnipresent and omniscient almighty Lord. The omnipresent's constant watchfulness embraces all His creatures. It is a warning to those who forge lies and show hostility against Allah and His last messenger by making changes in the law of Allah (shari-ah) conveyed to mankind through the Holy Prophet. Whatever the Holy Prophet declared lawful or unlawful shall remain binding, unchangeable, till eternity. Refer to the commentary of An Nisa: 24 to know about those who changed the law of Allah and sunnah of the Holy Prophet.
Ali Muhammad Fazil Chinoy Commentary
Commentary on Quran 10:61-70
The Prophet is describing attributes of Friends of God, of moderate grades remarked: It is 1. He, who recognized God by His Attributes, 2. He, who entertained Divine awe and glory for Him, 3. He, who controlled his tongue from wasteful speech, 4. He, who controlled his stomach from excess of food, 5. He, who forces self to punctual prayers and fast for higher grades. Those of higher grades are distinguished as under: 1. Their silence is a part of Divine remembrance. 2. Their look is with a sight of taking lessons. 3. Their talk is philosophy exposed. 4. Their walk means rendering public service. 5. If death was not for them a fixed period, their soul out of Divine awe would have abdicated their body. Worldly tidings for them are blessed dreams, going to pilgrimage, visiting Divine Lights in paradise, honoured by having a talk with them etc. eternal tidings being given to them at death bed, angel of death pointing to them, their final destination. Divine Lights having come to them to welcome. 3/67: Object of night being to afford rest and day to earn livelihood is a display of highest Divine Wisdom to human welfare. Worldly cares are lightened by nightly rest, besides giving room to amass Eternal gains, offered immediately after death, whereas, a worldly state, imposes death duties depriving him and his inheritors of labour of his fruits. There is no security council mightier than Divine offered by Islam, wherein peace of mind and guarantee of refund of premium with profits, so richly promised. 3/68: To impute creational attributes to God as having a son when He declares Himself to you as Self-sufficient and Indispensable to His creations, is gross miscarriage of justice and unpardonable crime.
