The Biggest and Eternal Miracle is the Quran part 3 Once, when Huzayfa b. Yaman was together with Ibn Abbas, a man asked Ibn Abbas, “Tell me the interpretation of “Ha mim ayn sin qaf” in the chapter of ash-Shura? Ibn Abbas did not like the man’s question and kept silent; then, he turned his face away from him. The man repeated his question. Ibn Abbas did not answer and turned his face away from him. The man asked the question for the third time. Yet, Ibn Abbas did not answer. Thereupon, Huzayfa b. Yaman said, “I will tell you about it; it seems that he does not want to answer. It was sent down about a man from Ahl al-Bayt called Abdulilah or Abdullah. The verse indicates that he will settle in a city in the East situated on a river, the city (Baghdad) divided by the river, that when Allah allows their sovereignty to end and their state to cease, a fire will be sent over them at night and it will be as if nothing has been there in the morning and that their place will be invaded by tyrants and oppressors. [15] This information, which was recorded by Tabari, who was born in 224 (H) (about twelve centuries ago) and died in 310 (H), in his tafsir, is enough to show how miraculous and scientific profundity the Quran has and how some Companions knew about this profundity and that they knew about the interpretation of the mutashabih verses. Indeed, it was seen that this dynasty, which was represented by the regent Abdulilah in Baghdad, was eliminated as a result of the military coup staged by General Qasim and all members of the dynasty were shot to death in the twentieth century. Ibn an-Nadim (death 378 H) explained in detail which scholars living before him interpreted the Quran, who wrote about the meanings, ambiguities, similes, vocabulary, unknown words, recital styles, points, shapes, lam letters, stopping places, enclisis, phrases, mutashabih verses, syllables, fascicles and virtues of the Quran, the number of the letters in the Quran according to the people of Madinah, Makkah, Kufa, Basra and Damascus, the abrogators and abrogated verses of the Quran, the revelation dates of the chapters and verses, the decrees of the Quran and their various meanings and who wrote which books. [16] Fakhruddin Razi, one of the interpreters of the Quran said, “When I happened to say, ‘it is possible to deduce ten thousand issues from the benefits and good aspects of the chapter al-Fatiha’, some people who were jealous of me and some ignorant and obstinate people thought I was one of those who claimed things that could not be proved like themselves. When I started to write this book (Mafatih al-Ghayb), I wrote the following introduction to show that it was possible to deduce so many issues from the chapter al-Fatiha and to warn them.” [17] The Quran has as much information as and even more information than all of the heavenly books. The Prophet said the following in a hadith: “I was given as-Sab’ [18] for the Old Testament, Maun for the Psalms [19], Mathani [20] for the New Testament. Mufassals [21] were given as extra.” [22]
