Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Light of the Holy Qur'an Interpretation of Sura Yusuf Section 7 : No Fear Or Grief For the Friends of Allah Commentary : Verse 61 Everything in the earth and the heavens is contained in the Open Book There shall not be any fear or grief for any friend of Allah.

(61) وَ ما تَكُونُ في‏ شَأْنٍ وَ ما تَتْلُوا مِنْهُ مِنْ قُرْآنٍ وَ لا تَعْمَلُونَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ إِلاَّ كُنَّا عَلَيْكُمْ شُهُوداً إِذْ تُفيضُونَ فيهِ وَ ما يَعْزُبُ عَنْ رَبِّكَ مِنْ مِثْقالِ ذَرَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لا فِي السَّماءِ وَ لا أَصْغَرَ مِنْ ذلِكَ وَ لا أَكْبَرَ إِلاَّ في‏ كِتابٍ مُبينٍ " And you are not(engaged)in any affair, nor do you recite any part from the Qur'an, and nor any deed you(mankind)may be doing, but We are Witnesses over you when you enter into it.

Nor is there hidden from your Lord(so much as)the weight of an atom on the earth or in the heaven, not anything lesser than that or greater but are(recorded)in a Clear Book. " Commentary : The "Clear Book" is the 'Preserved Tablet' or Allah's Comprehensive Knowledge which covers the entire cosmos including not only the actions of human beings but also the smallest details of everything in the heavens and the earth.

With the utmost subtlety and eloquence, this verse announces that Allah is not only fully aware of the minutest facts in the heavens and the earth but He is also fully aware of the minutest details of the actions of his subjects. Whatever the mood or state of meditation or an important affair you might be in, whatever part of the Qur'an you might be engaged in reciting, and whatever action you begin, you can do nothing which cannot be seen or noticed by Allah when you start it.

The verse says: " And you are not(engaged)in any affair, nor do you recite any part from the Qur'an, and nor any deed you(mankind)may be doing, but We are Witnesses over you when you enter into it. ..." Then more emphatically, it continues by saying that not slightest thing in the heavens and on earth, even that of an insignificant particle or greater than it can be hidden from Allah. All of these are recorded and registered in the Preserved Tablet and in the Open Book of Allah.

It continues saying: "... Nor is there hidden from your Lord(so much as)the weight of an atom on the earth or in the heaven, not anything lesser than that or greater but are(recorded)in a Clear Book.
