Tafsir
Commentary on this passage
Verse 110
1.The non-stipulation of revelation for humanity is a symbol of the affair that to consider the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) like oneself and human from any aspect shows unawareness towards him. The discrimination inherent in his nature is due to his being the destination of revelation and this honour is not granted to other people.

Benefit
The deeds of Akhsareen will not have any weight. Though the weighing of deeds is a belief of Islam. Actually the deeds of Akhsareen would not have any value whatsoever that they could show any weight.
Benefit: It should be clear that there is no contradiction between the words Nida (call) and Khafi (subdued voice ). Khafi denotes a place of solitude where one can invocate in a loud voice. Apart from this the use of the word Khaffi in the supplication for children carries great eloquence.
