A pproaching the West—136 Objective of the Signs The objective is to establish the truth, to provide guidance, salvation and righteousness to mankind through Gnosis of the Divine, the One God. We read in the Qur’ ā n, He it is Who sends down clear Signs to His servant, that He may bring you out of every kinf of darkness into the light. And verily, All ā h is Compassionate and Merciful to you. (57:10) Referring to Prophet Mu ḥ ammad (peace and blessings of All ā h be on him), the Qur’ ā n says, he is A Messenger, who recites unto you the clear Signs of All ā h, that he may bring those who believe and do good deeds out of every kind of darkness into light… (65:12) He it is Who has raised among the Unlettered people a Messenger from among themselves who recites unto them His Signs, and purifies them, and teaches them the Book and the wisdom, although they had been, before, in manifest misguidance. (62:3, [3:165]) These are the Signs of All ā h, We rehearse them to thee while they comprise the truth; and All ā h wills not any wrong to His creatures. (3:109)
