Abstract: (804 Views) |
In verse 32 of Surah Fatir, the chosen ones are mentioned. In the interpretation of this verse from the beginning, in terms of meaning and examples, many different views have been presented by the fariqain scholars of interpretation, which shows the great importance and value of this issue. By examining the opinions, documents and reasons of Quranic researchers about the above noble verse, relying on the Holy Quran, Sunnah, reason especially the context, the traditions of descent and other peripheral evidences, this study reached this clear and definite conclusion that regarding the inheritors of the book (Quran) and the examples of "those whom we elected ..." two major theories have been presented by fariqain, and most of Ammeh Quranic scholars know the elected to be Islamic Ummah; while all Imami and many Ammeh elites view the elected to be itrat-e tahirih, pure family: Ali, Fatimah and Imams of Ahl al-Bayt. It is clear from the analysis of the statements of the fariqain that the first theory is not supported by any reason: intellectual or narrative; on the contrary, all the reasons are against it. While the second theory is supported by the Holy Quran, definite tradition, history and strong rational reasons. And again, regarding the fact that weight of the trustworthiness has been put one shoulder of those preceeding in doing goods, the triple state of the elected would not create any problem.
