20:29
Harun (Imam-i asas)
In order to estimate the depth and impact of the wisdom-filled way in which the holy Prophet has praised Mawla cAli, one has to see him in the Harunian mirror (ayinah-yi Haruni) in the wise Qur’an, about how both the Imams are the wazirs of their respective Prophets (20:29; 25:35). Wizarat (ministry) is mentioned together with the heavenly Book (25:35). Therefore, it is a clear fact that both were custodians of the ta'wil of their respective heavenly Books, and it is not possible to do ta'wil of the Book without seeing the spirituality and intellectuality of its inner aspect.
Further, when the following verses from the story of Hazrat Musa were revealed to the Holy Prophet “And appoint a wazir for me from my family, Harun my brother, strengthen my back by him and associate him in my task” (20:29-32), he supplicated to God: “And I also say, O my Lord, as Musa did: Appoint a wazir for me from my family, my brother Ali, strengthen my back by him and associate him in my task (of conveying the message).”
