Food For Thought#6 On Qaf Sura
In The Name of ALLAH
Qaaf: One of the Divine Abbreviated Letters
Revealed at Mecca
Part#1
Mankind with his various needs, events, confrontations and challenges is a substrate for the occurrence of the Divine Signs( Ayat) and naturally by passing the steps and being in his own growth stages, he will require more knowledge, spirituality and support.
Revealing facts in the whole world and in human aspect according to his needs in different substrates is called "Tafsil" or detail since, in this condition , a fact is appeared and acted in various substrates item by item.
The Holy Qur'an informs human on these detailed facts and declares a sort of guidance in accordance with his needs. Based on this, by studying Qur'an, it would be possible to perceive the required detailed facts; i.e., each Qur'an verse is in the position of detail ( Tafsil) of a truth and human could gain knowledge and an attention to the Creator's recognition.
Regarding to this, each of verses could be classified into two knowledge and perception aspects. The subject of verses could be the base of this classification. Hereby, it would be possible to differentiate between suras referring to their scientific contents which helps us to disclose the specific facts of each sura.
The essential point to notice pertaining to verses differentiation is that this detail (Tafsil) finds its meaning in two aspects of human being; 1) human as a criterion: that is, the messenger and 2) other humans. Those facts which have a high horizon are defined in the messenger aspect. By this means, the grade of facts varies to the human's eminence and by considering this fact, it would be possible to differentiate sura verses.
Additionally, each action in human is formed on the basis of a perception. By expressing facts, Qur'an provides the grounds of presenting beliefs, states, attributions, actions and deeds. In order to know how it is possible to recognize the detailed suras based on human knowledge and perception, we will study the Qaf sura.
