Wonderful is God’s creation of the universe, but much more wonderful is the creation of man.

In fact man’s life on Earth is "the seedbed of an eternal future". (close)

When the two Recording angels record the deeds of men, one sitting on the right and the other on the left,
English Short Commentary
When the two Recording angels record everything, sitting on his right and on his left;[2806]
2806. According to some Commentators the angel sitting on man’s right records his good actions and that on his left his bad actions—the words 'on the right' standing for his good actions and 'on the left' for his bad actions. Every deed or spoken word leaves its impress in the atmosphere and thus is preserved. Elsewhere in the Qur’an (24:25 & 36:66) it is stated that the limbs of man—his hands, feet and tongue—will bear witness against him on the Judgment Day. Thus the different parts of a man’s body may also be 'the recorders' referred to in the present verse as the Recording Angels. (close)
