Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And every small and large thing is recorded)
Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Qamar: 53] Every small thing that occurs in this universe among the created beings, their descriptions, and their actions is recorded, meaning: inscribed in the Noble Book, the Preserved Tablet. Every small and large thing, even the thorn that a person is pricked by is written down, and even what weighs the weight of an atom of deeds is written. Every small and large thing, if you believe, my brother, in this, and it is obligatory for you to believe in it, then you must be cautious of disobedience. Beware of disobeying with your speech, your action, or your omission. Beware of disobeying, because everything is written.Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: [Qaf: 18] And what is done is likewise; because if the words are written, and they are thousands of times more numerous than the actions, then what letter you utter is not contained in them, how much action do you perform? Less, it is not counted, but it is few compared to the speech. So if the words are written, then the actions are all the more so.
You must fear Allah Mighty and Majestic. Fear your Lord. Do not disobey Allah. If you hear Allah say something as a report,Say: you believe in it and affirm it.
And if you hear Allah say something as a command,Say: you believe in it with hearing and obedience.
Or a prohibition;Say: you believe in it with hearing and obedience.
So leave what is prohibited and do what is commanded. And this is advice.
(Every small and large thing is recorded) The movements are written, the letters of the words are written, everything is written.
Allah the Exalted said:
And every small and great [thing] is inscribed.
وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ وَكَبِيرٍ مُسْتَطَرٌMan does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record].
مَا يَلْفِظُ مِنْ قَوْلٍ إِلَّا لَدَيْهِ رَقِيبٌ عَتِيدٌYou must fear Allah Mighty and Majestic. Fear your Lord. Do not disobey Allah. If you hear Allah say something as a report,Say: you believe in it and affirm it.
And if you hear Allah say something as a command,Say: you believe in it with hearing and obedience.
Or a prohibition;Say: you believe in it with hearing and obedience.
So leave what is prohibited and do what is commanded. And this is advice.
(Every small and large thing is recorded) The movements are written, the letters of the words are written, everything is written.
