Surah: 063 - Ayah: 008

63:08

Mu^cizz li-Dini’llah (peace be upon him):

Root: ^cayn, za’, za’ and dal, ya’, nun. Mu^cizz li-Dini’llah means the one who gives strength and honour (^cizzat) to the religion of God. This glorious name of the Imam has become the subject of ^cizzat (might, honour). There cannot be any doubt for a mu’min that the entire ^cizzat belongs to God, the Prophet and the pure Imams, as God says: “The ^cizzat belongs to God and His Messenger and the believers (mu’minin = the Imams); but the hypocrites know not” (63:8). Among the principles of Qur’anic wisdom, when mu’mins are mentioned in the Qur’an in a praiseworthy way, it mainly means the Imams, for it is only the Imams who are at the pinnacle of the perfection of faith. In short, religion has an esoteric aspect (batin) and an exoteric aspect (zahir). God has linked the esoteric or hidden aspect with the Imam and He has left the exoteric or open one for the people, so that on the Day of Judgement they will be questioned [about it].
