Allah said,
[وَمَآ أَمْرُنَآ
إِلاَّ وَحِدَةٌ كَلَمْحٍ بِالْبَصَرِ ]
(And Our commandment is but one as the twinkling of an eye.) This is
information about the execution of His will in His creation, just as He informed
us the execution of His decree in them,
[وَمَآ أَمْرُنَآ
إِلاَّ وَحِدَةٌ]
(And Our commandment is but one) meaning, `We only command a thing once,
without needing to repeat the command; and whatever We command comes to
existence faster than the blinking of an eye without any delay, not even for an
instant.' Allah said,
[وَلَقَدْ
أَهْلَكْنَآ أَشْيَـعَكُمْ]
(And indeed, We have destroyed your likes), i.e. the earlier nations who
denied their Messengers,
[فَهَلْ مِن
مُّدَّكِرٍ]
(then is there any that will remember) meaning, is there any that will
receive admonition by remembering the humiliation and torment that Allah decreed
for them
[وَحِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ
وَبَيْنَ مَا يَشْتَهُونَ كَمَا فُعِلَ بِأَشْيَـعِهِم مِّن قَبْلُ]
(And a barrier will be set between them and that which they desire, as was
done in the past with the people of their kind.)(34:54) Allah's statement,
[وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ
فَعَلُوهُ فِى الزُّبُرِ ]
(And everything they have done is noted in Az-Zubur.) meaning, everything
they did is recorded in the Books of Record entrusted to the angels, peace be
upon them,
[وَكُلُّ صَغِيرٍ
وَكَبِيرٍ]
(And everything, small and large,) meaning, of their actions,
[مُّسْتَطَرٌ]
(is written down.) everything that they do is recorded and written in their
Record of deeds, which leave nothing, whether large or small, but it is recorded
and counted. Imam Ahmad recorded that `A'ishah said that the Messenger of Allah
said,
«يَا عَائِشَةُ
إِيَّاكِ وَمُحَقَّرَاتِ الذُّنُوبِ، فَإِنَّ لَهَا مِنَ اللهِ طَالِبًا»
(O `A'ishah! Beware of small sins, because there is someone assigned by Allah
who records them.) An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah also collected this Hadith.
