سورة الرحمن

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): Allah the Exalted is every day in a state (of glory). Among His states are that He forgives a sin, relieves a distress, raises one people and lowers another.

Imam Husayn (peace be upon him): The affairs of the past and future are in the hand of Allah's power. And Allah every day ordains a decree for mankind. If Allah's decree descends as we love, we give thanks for His blessings and He is the One whose help we seek in fulfilling gratitude. And if the decree comes between us and our hope, then whoever's intention is good and whose way is piety (taqwa) shall not be deprived or distanced.

Imam Ali (peace be upon him): Praise be to Allah who does not die and whose wonders do not come to an end, for every day He is in a state, bringing forth a new creation that was not before ... His beginning has no end and His lastness has no limit or extremity; He is the One whom no time preceded and no era came before ... The First before every thing, and there is no 'before' for Him; and the Last after every thing, and there is no 'after' for Him ... He fashioned in the firmest manner whatever He willed to create of all forms, not from any pattern that preceded Him, nor with any weariness that came upon Him in creating what He created before Him. He began whatever He willed to begin, and He originated whatever He willed to originate, as He willed, of the two heavy ones (jinn and mankind), so that through this they might come to know His lordship ...

Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him): Ibn Abbas in the exegesis of the verse: كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ [every moment He is in a state] said: Indeed, among what Allah has created is a tablet of a white pearl, whose two covers are of red ruby, whose pen is of light and whose writing is of light, and whose breadth is the distance between the sky and the earth. Every day He looks upon it three hundred and sixty times; in each glance He creates, provides sustenance, causes death and gives life, exalts and abases, and sets free, and does whatever He wills. And this is His saying: كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ [every moment He is in a state].

Imam Hasan (peace be upon him): I did not do what I did except for your preservation; كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ [every moment He is in a state].
