Surah Taha Tafseer

وَعَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ

And (all) faces shall be humbled before the Ever Living, the Sustainer.

Ibn Abbas and others said,

"This means that the creatures will be humbled, submissive and compliant to their Compeller, the Ever Living, Who does not die, the Sustainer of all, Who does not sleep."

He is the maintainer of everything. He determines the affairs of everything and preserves everything. He is perfect in His Self. He is the One Whom everything is in need of and whom nothing could survive without.

Concerning His statement,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا

And he who carried wrongdoing, will be indeed a complete failure.

meaning on the Day of Resurrection. For verily, Allah will give every due right to the one who deserved it. Even the ram who lost its horn will be given revenge against the one who had horns.

In the Sahih, it is recorded that the Prophet said,

إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظُّلْمَ فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَة

Beware of wrongdoing (or oppression), for verily, wrongdoing will be darknesses on the Day of Resurrection.

And the true failure is for whoever meets Allah while associating partners with Him. Allah the Exalted says,

("Verily, associating partners with Me is the great wrongdoing").

Allah's statement,

وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَهُوَ مُوْمِنٌ فَلَ يَخَافُ ظُلْمًا وَلَا هَضْمًا
