Reflection — Ibn Kathir
The Record of the Wicked and some of what happens to Them
Allah says truly,
إِنَّ كِتَـبَ الْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
كِتَابٌ مَّرْقُومٌ (A register inscribed!...83:9) The word marqum (translated above as 'inscribed' ) signifies here makhtum meaning 'sealed'. Imam Baghawi and Ibn Kathir say that this statement is not the interpretation of sijjin, but rather the explication of a phrase before that, namely:
كِتَابَ الْفُجَّارِ
