notifications_active Weekly Meshkat-e Noor Session: Thursdays at 20:30 at Haj Reza Mosque
When we say that the Imam translates divine revelation, does that mean he translates it into the different languages of all creatures and instils it in them so that each creature can fulfil its purpose? Have I understood this correctly? Please explain.
The Imams translate divine revelation into the different languages of inanimate beings, plants, animals, and human beings, enabling every creature to fulfil its purpose. This translation encompasses various forms of revelation, including Quranic, sacred, inspired, inwardly imparted, guiding, intellectual, and instinctive revelation. It helps creatures understand and carry out the plans and directives set for them, supporting all the constituents of existence in understanding and fulfilling their duties.
If we take into account all the forms of revelation—Quranic, sacred, inspired, imparted, guiding, scientific, instinctive, and so on—this translation will be suited to the languages of inanimate things, plants, animals, and human beings. It will also be intelligible to every element and part of existence, enabling the plans and strategies to be set, delivered, and carried out.
