62. From this we learn that the deeds of the beloved servants of Allah Almighty can be linked to the deeds of Allah Almighty, and the works of Allah Almighty can be linked to His ervants.Observe, the recording of deeds is the Work of the angels, yet, Allah Almighty says We were recording them. Hazrat Jibraeel (On hom be peace) told Bibi Mariam that I shall be granting you a pure son. Hazrat Isa (On hom be peace) had said that I raise the dead to the life and cure the lepers, etc.Although these works were of Allah Almighty. Thus, we can Ù…say that the Holy Prophet gave us faith, granted us honour. The Holy prophet will save us from Hell and provide us Paradise.
63. Outwardly, it seems that all the good and evil deeds of both the believers and the infidels are being recorded. Some scholars say that only the evil deeds of the infidels are being recorded, because they receive no reward for their good deeds. The second angel becomes a witness to the writing. Under this condition, the word action denotes the sins of the infidels.It should also be remembered that the infidelity of the infidels, too, is recorded as deeds of infidelity. Thus, there is no objection against this verse. The great Sufis say that the favour and love of the believers are not recorded because this is not a deed, but a saintly state. Paradise will be the reward of all the good deeds. while the reward of fervent love is the communion with Allah Almighty.

Please refer to Surah Jathiya ayat 27 which provides the complete commentary from verse 27 through 29.
(45:29) This is Our Record which bears witness against you with truth; We used to record all what you did.”[42]
42. The only possible way of getting a thing recorded is not by means of the pen and paper only. Man himself has discovered in this world several other forms of recording human words and actions and reproducing them exactly and accurately; and we cannot even imagine what other possibilities of it lie yet undiscovered, which man himself will discover and exploit in the future. Now, who can know how and by what means is Allah getting recorded man’s every word, his every movement and action, even his hidden intentions and motives and desires and ideas, and how He will place before every man and every group and every nation his or its whole lifework accurately and exactly?
[1475]- By recording angels.
