Recognition of Imam Part II - The Book, the Prophet and the Light

The Book, the Prophet and the Light

It is a Divine habit and law that when He wills, He reveals the heavenly Book to one of His Prophets whereby he may bring the people to the light of the recognition of the Imam from the darkness of negligence and ignorance. Then, by the command of God, the Prophet after his own time, is guiding the people throughout his entire cycle, on the right path towards God through this light, i.e., the Imam, as God said to the Prophet: "Alif, Lam Ra is a Book which We have revealed unto you that thereby you may bring humankind from darknesses unto light, by the permission of their Lord, unto the path of the Mighty, the Praiseworthy" (14:1).
