Appendix 3: Divine Text and Divine Lights

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of God the Compassionate, the Merciful

God the Almighty in Surah Rahman says:

سَنَفْرُغُ لَكُمْ أَيُّهَ الثَّقَلَانِ

“Shortly shall He reveal unto you oh Mighty Divine Text and Lights [on Dooms Day to give evidence as to who listened to you and who disregarded you].(55:31)

The Prophet said:

“I am leaving behind two heavy (Trusts) with you, the Divine Text and my family (Infallibles). If you adhere to them you shall never be misguided and they shall never separate (interpreting Divine Commands) until they revert to the Cistern (unto me).

Imam Ali said:

“It is an advice which does not deceive, a guide which does not lead astray, a history which does not lie, and those who associate with it shall enhance their guidance and reduce ignorance, its recommendation on Dooms Day shall not be subjected. It has remedial effects on your deadly hearts desires, viz. infidelity, hypocrisy, seduction, misguidance, and subject to trippings.

Compare your tenets and falsify them wherein they differ from it, and locate mischief of further passion therewith. God enhances bounties of a house wherein it is read (by forbidding wasteful expenditure, and economizing legal earnings and scoring eternal deposits, provided it is read slowly, with meaning and is acted upon). Thus it is lucrative to the faithful in healing the heart maladies and guarding the income earned, physically, mentally, and morally and its ruinous to the cause of transgressors. When national disasters, for violation of Divine Commands are anticipated, they are averted by the children learning text and aged engaged in prayers. It is revealed in gravity to maintain the state while reading it, praying forgiveness of sins, when Divine punishment is threatened and pray for paradise, when promise are held out to the virtuous.

Reading slowly, understanding its meaning and by looking in the book is superior to otherwise; reduces punishment of parents, if infidel.
