In the first noble āyah s of the blessed sūrah of al-Hadīd there are delicate things of at-Tawhīd , and great information of the secrets of divinity and abstraction, the like of which is unseen in the divine revelations, and the books of the people of knowledge and the owners of heart.
Had there been nothing but these āyah s to confirm the truthfulness of the prophethood and the perfection of the religion of the Seal of the Prophets, they would have been sufficient for the people of insight and knowledge.
The highest evidence proving that this knowledge is beyond the capacity of man and out of the limits of human thought is that till the revelation of these noble āyah s and the like, of the knowledge contained in the Qur'an, such knowledge had not been precedented among mankind, and there was no way to those secrets.
Nowadays, there are the books and the writings of the great philosophers of the world, who took their knowledge from the source of divine inspiration the highest and best of them maybe the noble book called Ethology [ Theologia ],[^3] by the great philosopher and celebrated wise man, Aristotle, to whom great philosophers, such as the Master Avicenna, the rare wonder of the time, humbly bowed.
Of the emanations of his mind was the logic and its rules, on which basis he was named “The First Teacher.” Avicenna says that ever since this great scholar composed the rules of logic, no one has been able to object to even a single one of his rules or add to them.
Despite what has been said, and although he had written that honorable book in order to prove the state of divinity, yet, could the whole of that noble book prove it as the noble āyah at the beginning of the Sūrah al-Hadīd could do, or even something near it with a scent of the great secret of monotheism?
Has it anything like the saying of Allah, the Exalted: “ He is the First and the Last and the Manifest and the Hidden,” [^4] Or the noble saying: “ And He is with you wheresoever you may be.” [^5] Nowadays the deep thinkers and the people of insight and knowledge do know what secrets there are in these āyah s, and with what noble words and a great secret Allah, the Exalted, has honored and favored the people of the End of the Time!
