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 t¤aha, 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."
