The Fourteenth Word
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
Alif. Lam. Ra. [This is] a Book with verses fundamental [of established meaning]. Further explained in detail, from One All‑Wise and Well-Acquainted [with all things].
In order to ascend to some of the elevated truths of the All‑Wise Qur’an, and of Hadiths, which are the true expounder of the Qur’an, we shall point out a number of comparisons of those step-like truths to assist hearts deficient in submission and obedience, and shall explain in the conclusion an object lesson and a mystery concerning divine favour. From among those truths, comparisons of the Resurrection and Day of Judgement are given in the Tenth Word and its Ninth Truth in particular, so there is no need to repeat them. Here we shall mention only five matters as examples of the other truths.
