Falsehood shall not come to It(Qur'an), neither from before It nor from behind It; sent from the Wise and the Praised (Allah).

(Qur'an, Surah Fosellat, verse 42)

Based on Islamic documents, the Word of God is the manifestation of God. Allah talks to humankind through His Word. Allah is unlimited and therefore, can not be limited to a certain time or place. In the same manner, His Word is not also limited to a specific time or place. Qur'an -bestowed upon the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) as the Messenger to all nations- is the last, most perfect and the only undistorted Word of God available to humankind and It holds the Truth from creation to eternity.

The Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) has said:

The superiority of Qur'an (Word of Allah ) over other words is like the superiority of Allah over His creations.

(Behaar-Ol-Anwaar)

The body of humankind is a terrestrial being and therefore, it is limited to terrestrial dimensions such as time and place. But the spirit of human is another phenomenon. Many of us once in a while, have experienced dreams which have revealed events happening in another time or place. Not all our dreams come true but some times they do. When we sleep, our spirits are temporally and partially freed from our terrestrial bodies and therefore from earthly limitations and dimensions; i.e. Our spirits almost freely traveled through different times and places while our bodies are stuck in one certain time and place. Dreams of the chosen-ones are always true while we must not give too much credit to our dreams, but even if once in our lives, we have experienced a true dream then we can relate to the issue of freedom from limitations of dimensions. Thus, it is very easy to comprehend that Qur'an is not limited to Dimensions of time and place. Qur'an holds the truth and All information regarding the past, the present and the future.

... (O' Prophet)We have sent upon you the Book (Qur'an), and explanation and clarification for ALL THINGS.

(Qur'an, Surah Nahl, verse 89)

 

... We have not left out ANYTHING in the Book (Quran)... .

(Qur'an, Surah Anaam, verse 38)

 

Qur'an is an unlimited ocean of Divine gnosis and Its everlasting secrets only Allah knows and by Allah’s bestowal, Mohammad and his progeny (PBUT). The Ahl-Ol-Bait have been teaching certain secrets to their students throughout the ages. Depending on different times and places and capacities, various secrets are revealed. It is so obvious that we need the Ahl-Ol-Bait next to Qur'an so that they may reveal the hidden Knowledge of Qur'an necessary for each time and place. Qur'an with the Ahl-Ol-Bait next to it, is a living and ever-new phenomenon. This is one reason why the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH&HP) repeatedly emphasized so much on the fact that Qur'an and the Ahl-Ol-Bait are inseparable from one another (Also see the Article “only God” in this site.)

The most intelligent people based on the available experiences and knowledge have thought and developed new ideas for their times but still their findings are only new for a limited period. But Allah has bestowed as much of his ever-true and always-new knowledge as He has wished upon the Ahl-Ol-Bait and they have the bestowed capacity to interpret the True Knowledge for different times and places; the Ahl-Ol-Bait's chest hold the Divine treasure of always-new and fresh jewels of Qur'an.

Imam Reza (PBUH) has said:

It (Qur'an) is a firm Divine rope (to seek and maintain connection and ...), a truth worthy handhold; It leads to heaven and saves from hell; It doesn't become old by passage of time; It doesn't become dismissed by discussing it; because It was not sent for one period of time, rather It was sent as the guide of proofs and the ultimate reasoning for the entire humankind.

Let us think for a moment; if Mahdy (PBUH) Appears today, then Qur'an and its hidden gnosis and secrets will be explained to humankind based on today's human knowledge and the levels of human knowledge will be raised tremendously and all questions shall be answered completely. Do you not want that wonderful day to happen as soon as possible? If yes, let us sincerely strive and pray for that magnificent day... .
