قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

عین الطاف است ساقی هر چه ریخت

از این آیهء این حقیقت مهم توحیدی فهمیده می‌شود که تصرف در عالم به معنای واقعی» برای خداست و هیچ کسی جز او مستقلاً اختیار و اراده‌ای ندارد. اگر انسان به این حقیقت ایمان داشته باشدء بی‌شک بر خدا توکل می‌کند و خود را تسلیم خواست خداوند می‌نماید و دیگر در برابر گرفتاری و مصیبت جزع و فزع نمی‌کند و برای رسیدن به نعمتی خوشحالی و فخرفروشی نمی‌نماید. نقل شده است که پس از اسارت خاندان امام حسین(ع)» ابن زیاد به حضرت زینب (س) گفت: رفتار خدا را با برادرت چگونه دیدی؟! آن بانوی بزرگوار در پاسخ فرمود: من جز زیبایی چیزی ندیدم. آنها گروهی بودند که خداوند کشته شدن را برای ایشان مقدر کرده بود و آنها به سمت قتلگاهشان شتافتند.
