Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books An Introduction to the Glorious Quran What are the Signs of a Pure Divine Scripture? Certain individuals have claimed utterance of "divine guidance" through­out the history of humankind without being chosen by Allah the Exalted for this purpose. These people have been either mad or deluded by evil influences, and this came to pass even among well‑versed prominent religious leaders.

The best thing is to examine their words in their exact original form and language (not a translation of, or excerpts from, or sporadic comments) with an open mind and heart, without any prejudice. It will immediately become obvious whether or not their writings are truly walzy from Allah the Exalted or are satanic inspirations.

This is why Allah the Exalted says: "There is no compulsion in religion, the Right way is just made clear from the wrong..." (2:256) The following are a few characteristics of the way Almighty Allah speaks. This set of examples may be a rudimentary way to gauge such claims, but examples can be extended to any degree, all the way to the entire text of the Glorious Qur'an: A.

The Commanding And Authoritative Language The commanding and authoritative language used by Allah the Exalted is quite obvious in many of the ayat reviewed so far and will be clearer in the ayat yet to come. But the following may be used as another set of examples: "71 ‑ Not one of you but will pass over it (the Fire). This is with thy Lord, a Decree which must be accomplished.

72 ‑ But We shall save those who guarded against evil, and We shall leave the wrong‑doers therein, to their knees." (19: 71‑72) "They ask thee concerning (the nature of) the spirit. Say: The spirit is by command of my Lord. And of the knowledge of it very little is com­municated to you." (17:85) "16 ‑ Move not thy tongue concerning the (Qur’an) to make haste therewith. 17 ‑ It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it. 18 – But when We have promulgated it, follow thou its recital.

19 ‑ Nay more, it is for Us to explain it." (75:16‑19) I chose these examples, in particular, as they are partly addressed to His highly positioned rasul rather than to ordinary people. While they reflect the highly authoritative position of Allah the Exalted, they have the signifi­cance of clarifying His total control over what is transmitted to His messenger as wahy (Divine revelation). Not a single one of us could escape from the Fire if it were not for His Mercy and Compassion.
