Al-Emran 162-163
162- HE WHO SEEKS THE PLEASURE OF ALLAH, IS HE LIKE HE WHO INCURS ALLAH’S ANGER, AND HIS ABODE IS THE HELL-FIRE, AND AN EVIL DESTINY IT IS
163-THEY ARE BUT IN GRADES BEFORE YOUR LORD FOR ALLAH SEES ALL YOU DO
Allah the Highest is clarifying an important point for us. It is the difference between the good and the evil, before Allah the Highest. The good is any work or deed which pleases Allah the Highest and the evil is whatever displeases Him.
There are grades, levels and degrees of every thing, the good and the evil.
The most honourable and best status before Allah is piety, which is also graded. Allah the Highest said: “THE MOST HONOURABLE OF YOU BEFORE ALLAH IS THE MOST PIOUS”. (S: 49 A: 13)
Piety includes, as discussed at the beginning of Sorah 2 Al-Baqarah; Faith, Worship and the righteous way of dealing with every one and every thing.
Even Allah’s prophets and messengers, peace upon them all, are graded in different grades. Allah the Highest said: “THESE MESSENGERS, WE FAVOURED SOME OF THEM TO THE OTHER, SOME SPOKE TO ALLAH, AND RAISED SOME OF THEM DEGREES IN STATUS” (S: 2 A: 253) Varying degrees in honour and high status. The Paradise has various levels, some are better than others, but they are all excellent.
In the mean time there are varying degrees of dishonor and poor status. The Hell-Fire comes in different degrees and levels, some are worse than others, but they are all bad. Allah the Highest said: “THE HYPOCRITES ARE IN THE LOWERMOST PART OF THE FIRE”. (S: 4 A: 145)
