114:06
Mr. barkat Ali, aresident of Garden East, Karachi, asks: in a letter which consists of religious teachings, you have written to us that there is not a single verse in the Wise Qur’ᾱn which in its own language of wisdom, does not praise tha living and present Imam and give knowledge of ismailism. If you are correct in your claim, would you kindly provide some bright proof of it and then explain verse (114:6): “Of the jinn and of mankind”. What wisdom is hidden in it about the Imam of the time or ismailism?
Now, as for the wisdom of verse (114:6): “Of jinns and of mankind,” it means that Satan, who is also called “whisperer” (khannᾱs), who whispers in the hearts of the people is both of jinns and of mankind. The ta’wil (wisdom) of this verse is that in religious Books you might have read the story that during the time of Hazrat Ᾱdam (a.s.), the Vicegerent of God, there was a man by the name Harith-I Murrah, who disobeyed Ᾱdam and as a result became his enemy and became the Satan of that cycle. This law of God continues in every age that, whoever becomes the enemy of the Vicegerent of God,i.e. the Imam of the time, becomes Satan, whether he is of the jinns or of mankind. It is this Satan who, through deception and cheating by false discourses, whispers in the hearts of the people and dissuades them from the recognition of the rightful Imam. A mu’min should seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind from the evil of this Satan.
