قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

امامان(ع)؛ آگاهان از قرآن

چنان که در ابتدای این سوره گفته شدء هدف اصلی این سوره» اثبات حقانیت قرآن است. خداوند در آخرین اه این سوره نیز همین هدف را دنبال کرده و در مقابل کسانی که رسالت پیامبر را انکار می‌کنند» می‌فرماید که خداوند خود گواه رسالت پیامبر است. همچنین کسی که قرآن را فرا گرفته و به آن عالم گشته و در آن تخصص یافته باشدء گواهی می‌دهد که قرآّن از جانب خداست و پیامبر» فرستادة اوست. در بسیاری از روایات اهل بیت(ع)» «کسی که علم کتاب (و آگاهی بر قرآن) نزد اوست» امام علی(ع) و امامان پس از او دانسته شده است؛ زیرا آنان آگاه‌ترین افراد به قرآن هستند و از تمام رموز قرآن مطلع‌اند.

Similar verses by meaning

Ranked by semantic similarity over translation embeddings — a model’s proxy for meaning, not a claim about it, and not tafsīr. Verses may be kin in theme while differing entirely in wording.

  • إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ قَدْ ضَلُّوا۟ ضَلَٰلًۢا بَعِيدًا

    Indeed, those who disbelieve and avert [people] from the way of Allah have certainly gone far astray.

  • ٱلَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا وَهُم بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ

    Who averted [people] from the way of Allah and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they, concerning the Hereafter, were disbelievers.

  • ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱسْتَحَبُّوا۟ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا عَلَى ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ

    That is because they preferred the worldly life over the Hereafter and that Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.

  • ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ

    Those who do not give zakah, and in the Hereafter they are disbelievers.

  • بَلِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَهْوَآءَهُم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ فَمَن يَهْدِى مَنْ أَضَلَّ ٱللَّهُ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّٰصِرِينَ

    But those who wrong follow their [own] desires without knowledge. Then who can guide one whom Allah has sent astray? And for them there are no helpers.

  • وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ عَنِ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ لَنَٰكِبُونَ

    But indeed, those who do not believe in the Hereafter are deviating from the path.
