However...
However, the oath of Allah made by all these groups shows the greatness of their rank with Allah, and in the meantime inspires this fact that those who pave the path of the Truth also for reaching the destination must pass these three stages. Firstly, they must arrange their rows and every group stand in their own row. Then they must remove the barriers from the way and repel the troubles by shout and a loud voice.
And, after that, they must continually recite the Divine verses and the commands of Allah to the receptive hearts and try to actualize their contents. The strugglers of the path of the truth have not any way but passing these three stages, either. In the same manner, the truthful scholars, in their collective efforts, must also follow the same program.
It is notable that some of the commentators have rendered these verses into ‘strugglers’ and some others into ‘scholars’, but restricting the concept of these holy verses to those two groups seems improbable, while the generality of verses is not improbable; and we also consider them particular to the angels, again others can be inspired in their lives by the program of these angels.
In the first sermon of Nahj-ul-Balaqah, where the angels are spoken of, Amir-ul-Mu’mineen Ali (as), dividing them into different groups, says: “…some of them (angels) are in array and do not leave their position. Others are extolling Allah and do not get tired. The sleep of the eye or the slip of wit, or languor of the body, or the effect of forgetfulness does not affect them.
“Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, and Lord of the rising-places (of sun).” Among the signs and proofs of Unity is the agreement between the heaven, the earth, and other creatures of the world of existence.
Therefore, in these holy verses, the Qur’an says: “Verily your God is One,” “Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them…” Here, there arises a question that: after mentioning the words heavens and the earth and what is between them, what is the need of mentioning ‘rising-places (of sun)’ which is also a part of them? By noting to one point, the answer to this question will be made clear.
