Confirming the oath in the negative and affirmative forms is explicitly observed, as after the oath the Almighty affirms by saying: "That (this) is a noble Qur’ān.
In a Book kept hidden.” And what is hidden here means that which is internal and concealed, then Allah — the Mighty and Glorious — says: " none shall touch it save the purified ones ," and ‘none’ (lā) here is a particle of negation, and “touches it”means, realizes and comprehends it, not meaning contacting by hand, as theree is difference between contacting by hand (lams) and touching (mass).
Allah, the Exalted, said: “Surely those who guard (against evil), when a visitation from the Shaitan afflicts them they become mindful, then lo! they see”(Sura al-A’rāf, 7:201) Allah — the Glorious — also said: "Those who swallow down usury cannot arise except as one whom Shaitan has prostrated by (his) touch does rise.." (Sura al-Baqara, 2:275). "Touch' in these verses is relevant to ' Aql (reason) and apprehension not to cantacting by hand (lams).
And how is it possible that Allah swears that the Qur’ān should be touched only by who is purified, while several episodes in history books indicate that several tyrants have toyed with and torn it. Further we witnessed how the Israelis have trodden the Qur’ān under their feet — we seek protection with Allah -, beside setting it to fire at the time of occupying Beirut during their ill-famed invasion, the event about which ugly and appalling pictures and films were transmitted by TV devices.
So the meaning we conceive from Allah’s saying is that the meanings of the Qur’ān can never be realized but only by an elite from among Allah’s servants, whom He has chosen and cleansed with a thorough cleansing. The word “the purified” in the verse (56:79), is passive participle, i.e. those who were purified; and Allah — the Mighty and the Glorious — said: “…Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O People of the House!
