\n \u2018I asked Al-Sadiq -asws about the Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic: Alif Lam [2:1] Meem That is the Book, there is no doubt in it is Guidance for the pious [2:2]\u00a0 Those who are believing in the unseen [2:3] . So he -asws said: \u2018 The pious \u2013 Shias of Ali -asws ; and the unseen \u2013 so he -asws is the hidden Divine Authority (in occultation), and the testifying of that are the Words of the Exalted: And they are saying: Why is not a Sign sent to him from his Lord?

Say: But rather, the unseen is for Allah; therefore wait – I too, along with you, am from those who are waiting \u2019\u2019 [10:20] .
