Gems of Qur'anic Knowledge and Wisdom - Part 79


Part 79

Tags: Mubin, Az-Zahir

By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.

Surah-yi Nur says: "On that day God will complete their true religion, and they shall know that God is the manifest Truth" (24:25).

Mubin means manifest and the one who manifests, see Qamusu'l- Qur'an.38 Another of the attributive names of God "az-Zahir" is mentioned in surah-yi Hadid (57:3) whose meaning is opposite to that of "al-Batin". Thus here the other meaning of az-Zahir is not intended, nor has any exegete done any another translation.

The people of recognition know that according to the famous verse of subjugation of surah-yi Luqman (31:20), the great bounty of the pure vision of the Lord of honour is among the external bounties as well as the internal bounties. Read this noble verse meticulously!
