BarĀhĪn-e-a H madiyya — Part three 128 propounded on the basis of confused hints which do not completely satisfy either side. In the same way, the commandments of God are established to the satisfaction of His servants only when He informs them, through His perfect and truthful speech, of the diverse types of false notions into which they have fallen due to the erroneous state- ments of people, and makes them aware of their misguidance with a reasoned and clear statement, so that, if they do not mend their ways even after being informed and do not give up their error, they should deserve to be punished. Would it be just on the part of God Almighty that He should seize a person as an offender and be ready to punish him, without first disproving his pleas of innocence through a clear statement and removing his doubts through His unambiguous Word. He also pointed towards the same in another verse: 1 Part Number 2— ىًدُه ِساَّنلِّل َو ٍتٰنِّيَب َنِّم ىٰدُهْلا َو ِناَقْرُفْلا This means that the Quran has three qualities. First, it guides people to the knowledge of the faith that they had forgotten. Second, it sets forth the details of such knowledge as had been stated somewhat briefly in the past. Third, it gives the decisive verdict concerning matters over which differences and controversies had arisen, and thus distinguishes between truth and falsehood. Again, concerning this comprehensiveness, He says: 2 Part Number 15— َو َّلُك ٍءْيَش ُهٰنْلَّصَف اًلْيِصْفَت Meaning that, all knowledge of faith has been explained in complete detail in this Book and it identifies the means and teaches the perfect knowledge which should lead man not only to partial progress but to full development. Again, it is said: 1. S u rah al-Baqarah, 2:186 [Publisher] 2. S u rah Ban i Isr a ’ i l, 17:13 [Publisher]
