The purification stage for purging the soul from ethical and social evils.

The purification stage for purging the soul from ethical and social evils. The self-guiding stage towards those objectives which signify worldly happiness and the happiness and prosperity in the Hereafter. The stage of receiving divine blessings which is forgiveness and Paradise. In the meantime, the Qur’an is wholly preaching on a general level, however, only those groups that seek will be covered by the divine blessings.

The verse says: “…and a guidance and a mercy for the believers.” Finally, the cure for all pains must be sought after in the school of the Qur’an; not from the schools of the East and West.

“Say: ‘In the grace of Allah, and in His mercy – in that let them rejoice; it is better than that which they hoard’.” What is apparently revealed in this verse, if we consider the previous verse about the Qur’an as a source of healing and preaching, is the appeal to the Qur’an which is the purpose of Allah’s grace and mercy.

As Imam Ali (as) says: “On the Day of Resurrection, a voice will be heard that every farmer will be busy with some kind of pest except those who had sowed in the field of the Qur’an.

Thus, sow your seeds in the field of the Qur’an.” [^2] The Prophet (S) said: “He who has been honoured by Allah to be introduced to the blessings of Islam and the understanding of the Qur’an, but feels miserable is miserable indeed, and will be labeled so until the Day of Resurrection” , then he recited this verse.[^3] This is meant to say that once a person benefits from the blessings of Islam and the Qur’an, he is no longer poor and he enjoys the greatest wealth.

Likewise, it has been narrated from the Prophet (S) who said: “Refer to the Qur’an so that your life becomes enriched like the lives of happy people and your death becomes similar to those of the martyrs and you are saved from the terror on the Day of Resurrection.
