Transliteration:( Yashhadu hul muqarra boon )
14. The word YASH-HADU (He sees) is derived from either SHUHOOD (omnipresent) or from MUSHAHIDAH (to see) i.e. the favourite angels are always present at the Illiyeen for the sake of protection or for worship. This tells us that there is a great status for worshipping at blessed places. Or, on the Day of Judgement the angels would present themselves there with great respect so that they appear in the Court of Allah Almighty very respectfully. Or, the angels would be testifying on them, or that the favourite servants of Allah Almighty are seeing this Illiyeen. They are fully aware of every believer therein and his/her status.
15. By the chosen ones is meant either the chosen angels who are engaged in the worship of Allah Almighty at all times or the chosen people who enjoy the nearness of Allah Almighty i.e. the chosen people are seeing Illiyeen. They have detailed information of the inmates of Paradise and Hell. It is stated in Tafseer Azizi that the souls of some pious persons are in the Illiyeen. Souls of some are in Zam-Zam and some are between the heavens and the earth.
