By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
See surah-yi Ma`un: "Have you seen him who calls the judgment a lie? That is the one who treats the orphan with harshness. And does not urge (others) to feed the poor." (107:1-3).
Ta'wili purport: Did you see the person who belies religion (i.e., the true Imam) and prevents the light of the Imam of the time to enter the personal world and does not invite to the hujjat's knowledge.
Yatim = alone, unique, unprecedented, i.e., Imam.
Miskin = hujjat, as his knowledge satisfies the murid.
Surah-yi Rahman, Bride of the Qur'an mentions all the bounties of the Lord of both the worlds which are bestowed on humans and jinns. Also this question is repeatedly asked: "(O men and jinns!) Which of your Lord's bounties will you both deny?" What is the real wisdom of this repeated question? Answer: Certainly God wants the gratitude for all His bounties to be in the light of recognition. Lack of such gratitude is the belying of the bounty.
