Ali in the Quran - Part 4

 تِلۡكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ وَڪِتَابٍ۬ مُّبِينٍ

We recite this blessing-full verse in Chapter Naml (Ants), in chapter 27, verse 1. In some cases, this verse troubles me thoroughly, to the extent of my knowledge, it makes, supreme sense, to you, it might take time... The confusing thing about this verse is the fact that, why is Allah using the word:  ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ over here, when in Chapters like Yusuf (Joseph), and Shu'ra (The Poets), he states the exact Aya'ah except this word highlighted in red above. 

Confusing isn't it? Is Allah trying to specify the book ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ as the مُّبِينٍ book? Of course he is, but through this, we learn something fabulous and staggering. Quran has this style of symbolizing plurals with great affect, it manifests the words and climates of the words in such strategies, that the reader is testified, of the fact that there isn't just one man, but several, there isn't just one prophet, but several! But is Allah, over here, trying to emphasize something really catchy? Something valuable? Something informative? Maybe, maybe not... This man you see my viewers and readers, is posted on my blog, not upon inspiration or any liking opinion, but primarily due to his interpretation of the Quranic verse, which goes something about this: 

وَٱعۡتَصِمُواْ بِحَبۡلِ ٱللَّهِ جَمِيعً۬ا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُواْ‌ۚ

"Hold on to the rope of Allah tightly!" (3:103)

And Dr. Zakir Naik says: That rope of Allah, is nothing but the Ṣaḥīḥ (Authentic) Ahadith

and also the correct Sunnah of the Prophet (saws) as well as the Quran it-self.

By the closest margin of error, a hadith, Ṣaḥīḥ one is certainly available, which goes something about the type below:

علي مع القرآن و لقرآن مع علي! 

Ali is with the Quran, and the Quran with Ali!

The above is the Prophet's ahadith, it's located in Hakim Mustadrak, and several other references, with the label Sahih, and Hasanun beside... 

If this man Ali, is with ٱلۡقُرۡءَانِ, he can't make a mistake, can he? Because, if someone is attached to the Quran, that firmly, that strongly, no way can he make such a mistake, can he? What mistake? No mistake, he is a Ma'sum! And Ma'sum are born with that natural gift of mind by Allah, which doesn't deviate even for a single moment from the true path! 

Before this magnificent Aya'h, there was the one stated in Surah Al-Yusuf, which just says: These are the verses of the book, which makes things clear. 

In this case, Allah's being precise, and clear, he's being Mubin, in this attitude, in this verse, as well, glorifying the status of this book, he's also glorifying, and auctioning the status of Ali, at the peak of all supremacy! Which has no price like both Ali and the Quran do!

Listen O ye believe, Allah in Surah Al-Yusuf wa Qassas, is just saying: These are verses of the book, which makes things clear, though over here, he (Allah) names the book, which makes things clear, Quran, and Allah, also in the same manner, wants you to also apply that knowledge upon Ali! Ali is a word not used in the Quran, to indicate that man, but Allah, through the caption of Ali - Quran, symbolises, that believe in Ali too! 

Quick answer: Through the unadventurous word of Quran used here, Allah specifies Quran with the association  and the specification, of Ali, that yes, I'm using the word Quran, so that you can specified, that Quran is the book which makes things clear, as well as that, if you engage your brains, it's also Ali, being referred to, when you see Allah's great might.

And Allah knows best!
