| The revelation and the descending of the Quran on a blessed night and the determination of man’s destiny on that night are among the issues mentioned in the initial verses of Surah al-Dokhan, which is one of the seven surahs beginning with the Arabic letters ح and م. By correlating the descending of the Quran on a blessed night and the initial verses of Surah al-Qadr, it becomes clear that Laylat al-Mobarakah is identical with Laylat al-Qadr, which is one of Ramadan nights during which the Quran was revealed (al-Baqarah, 185). Beyond the interpretation of the initial verses of Surah al-Dokhan and Surah al-Qadr, these verses include important facts which can be disclosed using ta’wili (allegorical interpretation) approach, including that, according to some narrations, ح and م correspond to the Prophet of God, ketab-e mobin (the manifest Book) to Imam Ali (a.s.), Laylat al-Mobarakah to Hazrat-e Zahra (a.s.) and koll-e amr (all affairs), in the verse «فِیهَا یُفْرَقُ کُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَکِیمٍ», to the divine infallible authorities. In these allegorical interpretations, the relationship between the Quran and the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) is emphasized, which is explicitly stated by the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) in Hadith-e Saqalein. How Laylat al-Mobarakah and the divine infallible authorities are related on the basis of the ta’wili approach is discussed in the present article, citing Quranic verses and narrations. |
