notifications_active Weekly Meshkat-e Noor Session: Thursdays at 20:30 at Haj Reza Mosque
Suppose we were discussing this with someone who accepts nothing but the Quran, and wanted to establish solely from Quranic verses that the knowledge required by all created beings, and the love between them—such as a mother’s love for her child—flow from the blessed being of the infallible Imam (peace be upon him). Which verses should we cite, and how can we make the case?
Quranic verses can be cited to show that the knowledge required by all created beings, and the love among them, flow from the infallible Imams (peace be upon them). Among the relevant verses are verse 12 of Surah Ya-Sin, which says, “و کل شیء أحصیناه فی إمام مبین,” and verse 43 of Surah al-Nahl, which instructs people to ask the People of Remembrance.
Everything Is Recorded in the Manifest Imam!
Asking the people of remembrance about what is unknown applies to every unknown matter.
