Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

منظور از عصر چیست

معنای هماهنگ‌تر با آیات بعد این است که منظورء عصر پیامبر اسلام(ص) و روزگار حیات با برکت آن حضرت است؛ چرا که در آیات بعد می‌خوانیم که همةٌ انسان‌ها در زیان‌اند؛ مگر کسانی که از حق پیروی و بر آن صبر کنند و واضح است که چهرةٌ حق در روزگار پیامبر اکرم(ص) آشکار شد و خورشید اسلام در آن زمان بر جامعة بشری طلوع کرد. پس تنها کسانی از زیان جاویدان نجات می‌یابند که از دین آن حضرت پیروی کنند. اگر هم می‌بینیم که عصر در بعضی از روایات به روزگار ظهور حضرت مهدی(عج) تفسیر شده, به خاطر این است که در آن روزگار» پیروزی حق بر باطل به مرحلة نهایی خود خواهد رسید.
