Q458 What are the wonders and marvels of verses (32:1-2): “Alif, lam, mim. Tanzilu’l-kitabi la rayba fihi min rabbi’l-calamin (By the supreme Pen, the guarded Tablet and the writing which is in the guarded Tablet)! The sending down of alif, lam, mim, that is the Book in which there is no doubt, is from the Lord of the personal worlds”?

A458

The supreme Pen means the light of the holy Prophet, which is an archangel by the name of Universal Intellect; the guarded Tablet means the light of Hazrat ^cAli^(c), which is the archangel Universal Soul, and the writing means the glorious Qur’an, which is in the guarded Tablet, namely the light of ^cAli^(c) (85:21-22). Take note of how you regard these great secrets.
The tanzil or sending down that is mentioned in this verse is the first tanzil. That is, by God’s command the Pen sent down the Qur’an into the guarded Tablet, which preserved it forever.
The guarded Tablet gradually gave a complete copy of the Qur’an to Israfil, who gave it to Mika’il, who gave it to Jibra’il, who revealed it to the holy Prophet’s blessed heart.
