Commentary
In this verse (‘Aayatul-Kusii), there is narration
about Oneness, Magnificence and Sole Command of Allah Almighty that He has
always been and always will be. He will never die, expire or be perished. There
is none worthy of worship but only He (God Almighty). He
is the Owner of such Virtues that praising any other save Him is not
reasonable. He is Creator, Lord and Master of the entire creatures. He fulfills
desires and necessities of all, and there is no partner of Him in completion of
all these works. He doesn’t need any supporter or partner. He Alone manages
these entire tasks and He is Well-Versed perfectly over them. He is the
Alive. All creatures are living with His Will. He is the Eternal from always
and will remain Eternal forever. He keeps others established. He never feels
fatigue. Despite so vast management of the entire universe, neither He needs
rest, nor does slumber overtake Him and nor sleep. He remains Watchful and
Sensible always.
His circle of
discretion is neither limited nor straitened, but It has circumscribed the
entire universe, earth and skies. All is for Him and He has Mastery and Power
of choice over everything. These all things have been fastened with His Command
and He brings them into motion as He desires.
Having so much
Powerful Mastery in Knowledge, Sole Command and Greatness, none can venture to
intercede before Allah Almighty save by His leave. Every individual is
responsible for own deeds, whether that is a mendicant, worldly person, rich or
poor, elder or younger will find fruit of own acts (good or bad) himself
(reward or punishment). Nobody would be able to share other’s load. However if
Allah Almighty gives permission to someone, then he can request in His Court.
He knows whatever is in any person’s mind. He is Aware of every mankind’s
intentions and wills. He keeps account of goodness and badness of the entire
creatures and it is very easy for Him.
None has power to
acquire some part out of His Knowledge without His permission. But how much
knowledge someone has attained, is result of Allah’s Mercy and Kindness. His
Throne of Knowledge and Sovereignty has besieged the entire universe.
Everything - large or small, good or bad, open or hidden; is bright before Him.
He doesn’t feel weariness from watching too much vast chain of creatures. This
entire arrangement is very light for Him. He is Pure from any kind of defect.
He is Master of the entire virtues and excellence. There is no limit of
His Dignity. Briefly speaking, the following virtues of God Almighty have
been mentioned in the ‘Aayat-ul-Kursii:
1.
The Alive.
2.
The Eternal.
3.
Neither slumber overtakes Him nor sleep.
4.
Everything is of Him and for Him whatsoever is in the heavens or
in the earth.
5.
Who is he that intercedes with Him save by His leave?
6.
He knows that which is in front of them and that which is behind
them.
7.
They encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will.
8.
His Throne includes the heavens and the earth, and He is never
weary of preserving them.
9.
And He is the Sublime, the Tremendous.
