Commentary

And when he mentioned the meaning, he mentioned the place of the arrangement that indicates it with a word that indicates the essence of the arrangement. He said: ﴿In a Book﴾ meaning a script and a manuscript in which it is gathered in a manner that is in the utmost stability. ﴿Preserved﴾ meaning it is in a concealed protection due to its preciousness and its exaltation in the heavens in the Preserved Tablet, and on earth in the honorable chests, and in the lines in the honored and purified Qur'ans, preserved with that from alteration and change.
