(163)هُمْ دَرَجَاتٌ عِندَ اللّهِ واللّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ
163. " They are of (varying) ranks with Allah; and Allah sees what they do."
Commentary:
Some verses of the Qur'an indicate that there are different degrees for the people. For example, Sura Al-Anfal, No. 8, verse 4 says: "... they shall have from their Lord exalted grades..." Or, Sura Taha, No 20, verse 75 says: "... these it is who shall have the high ranks."
In this verse the persons themselves are rendered into 'ranks'. It is similar to the meaning that a human being should act according to the scale, but later he himself becomes a scale. Or, another example is that: at first man is 'praiser of Allah', /thakir/, but later he himself becomes 'reminder', /thikr/, in a way that his remembrance causes hearts to be in peace. At first, he turns around the axis, but, later, he himself becomes the axis of the Truth.
" They are of (varying) ranks with Allah; and Allah sees what they do."
