Q513 What are the wisdoms in verse (17:45): “When you recite the Qur’an, We place a hidden veil between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter.”
A513 There are many wisdoms in this verse:
- Just as Allah has a veil so do the Qur’an and the Prophet.
- The holy Prophet not only recited the Qur’an externally but also internally [in the person of his successor, i.e., the Imam of the time].
- The question of a veil would not have arisen had the blessed personality of the holy Prophet not been luminous, namely had he not been the luminous lamp and had his recitation not been extraordinary.
- The recitation of the Qur’an by the holy Prophet means that his successor, the Imam explains its ta’wil in every age.
