It is a Book written comprehensively.
Important Words:
کتاب means, a book; a record or register; a revealed Scripture; Divine decree; judgement or sentence. etc. (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
In view of different significations of سجین and کتاب the verse under comment, along with v. 8, would signify that the register in which the record of the evil deeds of the wicked are kept is known by the name سجین i.e. the name of the book would show that their punishment would be severe and lasting. Or the verse may mean that the wicked will be kept in a place of disgrace and ignominy and this is an irrevocable decision. Or سجین and علیین may be the names of two portions of the Quran, the former dealing with the wicked rejecters of the Divine Message and with the punishments to be meted out to them, and the latter with the righteous servants of God and the rewards to be bestowed upon them. Thus the meaning of the verse would be that the verdicts recorded in these two portions cannot be recalled and so cannot be altered or changed.

The name Sijjin signifies that the punishment for the wicked disbelievers will be severe and lasting. Or, the verse may mean that the wicked will be kept in a place of disgrace and ignominy and this is an irrevocable decision. Or, Sijjin and ‘Illiyyin may be the names of two portions of the Qur’an, the former dealing with the rejectors of the Divine Message and the punishments to be meted out to them, and the latter with the righteous servants of God and the rewards which will be bestowed upon them. Thus the meaning of the verse would be that the verdicts recorded in these two portions cannot be altered or changed.
