Commentary on 17:25
"Rabbmu lebih mengetahui apa yang ada dalam hatimu. Jika kamu orang-orang yang baik, maka sesungguhnya Dia Maha Peng-ampun bagi orang-orang yang bertaubat." (Al-Isra`: 25).
(25) Maksudnya, Rabb kalian سبحانه وتعالى mengetahui semua rahasia yang kalian sembunyikan yang berbentuk kebaikan dan keburuk-an. Dia tidak semata-mata melihat tindak-tanduk dan rupa fisik kalian, Dia hanyalah memandang apa yang ada di dalam hati, berupa kebaikan dan keburukan ﴾ إِن تَكُونُواْ صَٰلِحِينَ ﴿ "jika kamu orang-orang yang baik," dengan menjadikan hasrat dan orientasi-orientasi kalian ber-kisar pada keridhaan Allah, kesukaan kalian tertuju pada obyek yang bisa mendekatkan diri kepada Allah, dan tidak ada keinginan-keinginan yang mengendap dalam hatinya untuk selain Allah. ﴾ فَإِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِلۡأَوَّٰبِينَ ﴿ "Sesungguhnya Dia bagi orang-orang yang ber-taubat," yaitu orang-orang yang senantiasa kembali kepada Allah di segala waktunya ﴾ غَفُورٗا ﴿ "Maha Pengampun." Maka siapa saja yang telah Allah lihat (dalam) hatinya, dan Dia mengetahui tidak ada di dalamnya selain (kerinduan) kembali dan kecintaan kepadaNya serta mencintai segala sesuatu yang bisa mendekatkan kepadaNya, maka –sekalipun terkadang muncul pada dirinya efek (keterlenaan) yang berasal dari sifat-sifat manusiawinya–, sesungguhnya Allah akan memaafkannya dan mengampuni perkara-perkara yang insi-dentil, yang bukan permanen.

17:18
مَّن كَانَ يُرِيدُ ٱلۡعَاجِلَةَ عَجَّلۡنَا لَهُۥ فِيهَا مَا نَشَآءُ لِمَن نُّرِيدُ ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَا لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ يَصۡلَىٰهَا مَذۡمُومٗا مَّدۡحُورٗا ١٨
Whoever should desire the immediate1 - We hasten for him from it what We will to whom We intend. Then We have made for him Hell, which he will [enter to] burn, censured and banished.

- i.e., worldly gratifications. ↩
17:19
وَمَنۡ أَرَادَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعۡيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ سَعۡيُهُم مَّشۡكُورٗا ١٩
But whoever desires the Hereafter and exerts the effort due to it while he is a believer - it is those whose effort is ever appreciated [by Allāh].
17:20
كُلّٗا نُّمِدُّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَهَٰٓؤُلَآءِ مِنۡ عَطَآءِ رَبِّكَۚ وَمَا كَانَ عَطَآءُ رَبِّكَ مَحۡظُورًا ٢٠
To each [category] We extend - to these and to those - from the gift of your Lord. And never has the gift of your Lord been restricted.
17:21
ٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ فَضَّلۡنَا بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖۚ وَلَلۡأٓخِرَةُ أَكۡبَرُ دَرَجَٰتٖ وَأَكۡبَرُ تَفۡضِيلٗا ٢١
Look how We have favored [in provision] some of them over others. But the Hereafter is greater in degrees [of difference] and greater in distinction.
17:22
لَّا تَجۡعَلۡ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَقۡعُدَ مَذۡمُومٗا مَّخۡذُولٗا ٢٢
Do not make [as equal] with Allāh another deity and [thereby] become censured and forsaken.
17:23
۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوٓاْ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلۡوَٰلِدَيۡنِ إِحۡسَٰنًاۚ إِمَّا يَبۡلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلۡكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوۡ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفّٖ وَلَا تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوۡلٗا كَرِيمٗا ٢٣
And your Lord has decreed that you worship not except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff,"1 and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

17:24
وَٱخۡفِضۡ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرۡحَمۡهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرٗا ٢٤
And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."
17:25
رَّبُّكُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا فِي نُفُوسِكُمۡۚ إِن تَكُونُواْ صَٰلِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِلۡأَوَّٰبِينَ غَفُورٗا ٢٥

Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.
