قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

پیشوایان معصوم؛ بزرگ‌ترین نعمت الهی

مفهوم نعمت‌اله چنان وسیع و گسترده است که همه نعمت‌های مادی و معنوی و حتی شخص پیامبر(ص) را شامل می‌شود. در روایات اهل بیت(ع) می‌خوانیم که منظور از نعمت‌اللّه همان نعمت وجود ائمه و رهبران معصوم است. در روایتی از امام صادق(ع) می‌خوانیم: «به خدا سوگند. نعمت خدا ما هستیم که خداوند به وسیلةٌ آن بندگانش را مشمول لطف خود قرار داده است. و سعادتمندان به وسیلةٌ ما سعادتمند می‌شوند.» روشن است که سعادت و پیروزی بدون استفاده از رهبری رهبران راستین امکان‌پذیر نیست و این از روشن‌ترین نعمت‌های الهی است که به مثابه یک مصداق آشکار در اینجا ذکر شده است.

روزی که از هر امتی گواهی بر آنها بر می‌انگیزیم

از آیات قرآن و روایات معصومین(ع) استفاده می‌شود که حجت خدا در هر زمان - خواه پیامبر باشد یا وصی پیامبر - بر اعمال امت خویش آگاه است و در دادگاه قیامت در بارة مردم خود گواهی خواهد داد؛ چنان که یه ‎۸٩‏ همین سوره این نکته را باز می‌گوید.
