Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (One of power with the Lord of the Throne, established)
Allah the Exalted said: [At-Takwir: 20] Allah the Exalted described him with immense power, for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) saw him in the form in which Allah created him, with six hundred wings, filling the entire horizon, and that is due to his greatness (peace and blessings be upon him).
And his statement:[At-Takwir 81:20] Meaning: with the Owner of the Throne, and He is Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), and the Throne is above everything, and above the Throne is the Lord of the worlds (Mighty and Majestic),Allah the Exalted said: [Ghafir: 15] So the Owner of the Throne is Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
And his statement: (Established) Meaning: one who has a high status,Meaning: that Jibril has a high status and honor with Allah, and for this reason Allah singled him out for the greatest of the blessings that Allah sent down upon His servants, which is the revelation, for the blessings—my brothers—If we looked at them, we would find that they are two categories: The first: are blessings in which animals and humans are equal, and they are: the enjoyment of the body: eating, drinking, marriage, and dwelling. These blessings are equal for humans and animals, is that not so? The human enjoys what he eats, what he drinks, what he marries, and what he dwells in, and animals are the same.
The second: Other blessings are specific to humans, and they are: the laws that Allah sent down upon the messengers so that the life of creation may be upright; for it is not possible for the life of creation to be upright or their lives to be pleasant except through the laws, [An-Nahl: 97] So the believer who acts with righteousness is the one who has the pleasant life in this world and the great reward in the Hereafter, and by Allah, if you examined the lives of kings, and the sons of kings, and ministers, and the sons of ministers, and princes, and the sons of princes, and the rich, and the sons of the rich, if you examined their lives, and examined the life of one who believed and did good, you would find the latter has a more pleasant life, more comfort, and a more open chest; because Allah (Mighty and Majestic), in whose hand are the reins of the heavens and the earth, has guaranteed that,So he said: [An-Nahl: 97] So you find the believer who acts with righteousness has a covered heart, an open chest, and is satisfied with the decree and destiny of Allah. If good befalls him, he thanks Allah for it, and if its opposite befalls him, he is patient with it, and excuses himself to Allah for what he did, and knows that he was only struck by it because of his sins, so he returns to Allah (Mighty and Majestic),The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Amazing is the believer! Indeed, his entire affair is good, and that is not so except for the believer. If hardship befalls him, he is patient and it is good for him, and if ease befalls him, he is thankful and it is good for him) And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke the truth.
Therefore: The greatest blessing that Allah sent down upon creation is: the blessing of religion, by which the life of the human is established in this world and the Hereafter.
And I am asking you now: What is life? Is it the life of this world or the life of the Hereafter? The life of the Hereafter,The evidence: The saying of Allah the Exalted in Surat al-Fajr: [Al-Fajr: 24] , so this world is nothing; rather, the true life is the life of the Hereafter, and the one who works for the Hereafter lives a pleasant life in this world, as I recited for you the verse.
So the believer who acts with righteousness is the one who has gained both lives: the life of this world and the life of the Hereafter.
And the disbeliever is the one who has lost this world and the Hereafter: [Az-Zumar: 15] .
Allah the Exalted said:
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍAnd his statement:
with the Owner of the Throne
عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ[He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command upon whom He wills of His servants
رَفِيعُ الدَّرَجَاتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِ يُلْقِي الرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَى مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِAnd his statement: (Established) Meaning: one who has a high status,Meaning: that Jibril has a high status and honor with Allah, and for this reason Allah singled him out for the greatest of the blessings that Allah sent down upon His servants, which is the revelation, for the blessings—my brothers—If we looked at them, we would find that they are two categories: The first: are blessings in which animals and humans are equal, and they are: the enjoyment of the body: eating, drinking, marriage, and dwelling. These blessings are equal for humans and animals, is that not so? The human enjoys what he eats, what he drinks, what he marries, and what he dwells in, and animals are the same.
The second: Other blessings are specific to humans, and they are: the laws that Allah sent down upon the messengers so that the life of creation may be upright; for it is not possible for the life of creation to be upright or their lives to be pleasant except through the laws,
Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحاً مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَWhoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life
مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحاً مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنثَى وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةًTherefore: The greatest blessing that Allah sent down upon creation is: the blessing of religion, by which the life of the human is established in this world and the Hereafter.
And I am asking you now: What is life? Is it the life of this world or the life of the Hereafter? The life of the Hereafter,The evidence: The saying of Allah the Exalted in Surat al-Fajr:
He will say, "Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life."
يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِيSo the believer who acts with righteousness is the one who has gained both lives: the life of this world and the life of the Hereafter.
And the disbeliever is the one who has lost this world and the Hereafter:
