Gems of Qur'anic Knowledge and Wisdom - Part 85

Part 85

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

Surah-yi Naml mentions: "And say: 'Praise belongs to God. He shall show you His signs (miracles) and you will recognise them. Your Lord is not heedless of the things you do'." (27:93).

Hidden ta'wil: Mawla `Ali (a.s) has said: "Ana ayatu'llahi wa aminu'llah", i.e., I am God's signs and miracles and His confidant (amin).³⁹ This shows that this same secret is hidden in the verse of afaq-u anfus (41:53-54). See this blessed saying of Mawla `Ali (a.s) in the book Kawkab-i Durri.
