Explanation of Juz 28 of the Holy Qur'an from a Mahdavi Perspective

In this article, some verses from Juz 28 of the Holy Qur'an are examined from a Mahdavi perspective.

Part 1

1. Verse 12 - Surah Al-Mujadila
Ayah:
"O you who have believed, when you confer privately with the Messenger, spend before your private consultation. That is better for you and purer. But if you find not [the means], then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." (58:12)

Hadith:
Imam Ali (A.S) - When the verse "O you who have believed, when you confer privately with the Messenger..." was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) called me and asked, "What do you think about a dinar for each meeting?" I replied, "They cannot afford it." He then asked, "How much?" I replied, "The grains of barley!" He said, "That is too little." Then the verse: "Do you fear to give charity before your private consultation?" was revealed. Allah removed this burden from the Ummah because of me, and this verse was revealed neither before nor after me. (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 35, p. 378)

Mahdavi Perspective:
This verse emphasizes charity before private conversations, highlighting the purity of intention. Imam Ali (A.S) exemplifies the spirit of giving, aligning with the Mahdavi perspective of selflessness and purity that will prevail when the Mahdi (A.S) reappears.

2. Verse 18 - Surah Al-Mujadila
Ayah:
"On the Day when Allah will resurrect them all, and they will swear to Him as they swear to you, and they will think they are on something. But indeed, they are liars." (58:18)

Hadith:
Imam Sadiq (A.S) - These individuals will be in front of Allah, swearing that they did not commit shirk. However, they are the ones who have denied the rightful claim of Imam Ali (A.S) and wronged the truth. On the Day of Judgment, their limbs will testify against them, and their tongues will be sealed. (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 7, p. 312)

Mahdavi Perspective:
The Mahdi (A.S) will be the one who uncovers the truth and brings justice to those who have been deceitful. Their false oaths and claims of righteousness will be revealed.

3. Verse 10 - Surah Al-Hashr
Ayah:
"And those who came after them say, 'Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith, and do not place in our hearts any resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.'" (59:10)

Hadith:
Imam Hasan (A.S) - The verse mentions that Muslims after the Prophet (PBUH) will pray for Imam Ali (A.S), who was the first to believe. He was the one who became closest to the Prophet (PBUH) and led the community. This prayer of forgiveness acknowledges the special position of Imam Ali (A.S) as the first Muslim and his significant role in Islam. (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 69, p. 153)

Mahdavi Perspective:
The prayer for forgiveness and unity mirrors the anticipation of the Mahdi's (A.S) return, where all will be united under his just leadership, free from any resentment.

4. Verse 18 - Surah Al-Hashr
Ayah:
"O you who have believed, fear Allah, and let every soul look to what it has sent forth for tomorrow, and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Aware of what you do." (59:18)

Hadith:
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) - "O people! Consider Ali as superior, for after me, no one is greater than him. Anyone who opposes him will be cursed." (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 37, p. 208)

Mahdavi Perspective:
The call to reflect on one's actions aligns with the Mahdavi vision, where the return of the Mahdi (A.S) will bring forth accountability and a righteous community led by the true guide.

5. Verse 20 - Surah Al-Hashr
Ayah:
"Never equal are the companions of the Fire and the companions of Paradise. The companions of Paradise - they are the successful." (59:20)

🔹 Qur’an 4:53 — The Just Dominion: A Wilayah and Mahdavi Perspective

🌙 The Noble Verse

أَمْ لَهُمْ نَصيبٌ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ فَإِذاً لا يُؤْتُونَ النَّاسَ نَقيراً
“Have they a share in the dominion? Then in that case they would not give people [even] a speck on a date stone.” (Qur’an 4:53)

✍️ Narrations on Wilayah

1️⃣ Imam al-Askari (a.s.) 💬
“This verse is like the one about the hardness of the Israelites’ hearts: even stones sometimes fall in fear of Allah, but their hearts are harder than stone… If they had any share in rule, they would not give the people even as much as a naqīr (the tiny dot on a date pit).” 📚 Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 9, p. 314

2️⃣ Imam al-Baqir (a.s.) 💬
“Mulk (dominion) here means Imamate and Caliphate. If they had any share in it, they would deprive us — the Ahl al-Bayt — of even the smallest right.” 📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 205

3️⃣ ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim (r.a.) 💬
“Naqīr is the tiny point on the back of a date stone — a metaphor for the smallest possible right.” 📚 Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 9, p. 193

4️⃣ Ibn ‘Abbas (r.a.) 💬
“If the hypocrites had any share in rule, they would give nothing to the Prophet (s.a.w.) and his Companions.” 📚 Bahr al-‘Irfan, vol. 4, p. 247

🌟 Wilayah Perspective

🔹 The Mulk in this verse, according to the Ahl al-Bayt’s exegesis, is none other than divine Imamate — the true guardianship and leadership.
🔹 The Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.) are the rightful heirs of this divine dominion.
🔹 Rejecting their Wilayah results in misers and oppressors ruling over people, withholding the people’s share of divine mercy and justice.

✨ Mahdavi Perspective

🔸 In the era of the Reappearance, this true Mulk and divine leadership will return to its rightful inheritor, Imam al-Mahdi (a.j.).
🔸 He will reclaim the earth from the grasp of the miserly and unjust, spreading justice so that not even the smallest right is denied.
🔸 The rule of the Imam of the Age (a.j.) will end the historic cycle of oppression and the hoarding of rights.

✅ Wilayah and Mahdavi Conclusion

✔️ This verse is a sign of the long oppression of true Wilayah throughout history.
✔️ The Ahl al-Bayt are the rightful holders of this divine dominion, which history has usurped from them.
✔️ The Mahdi (a.j.) is the inheritor of this dominion; he will restore every right to its owner.
✔️ His governance in the End Times will be the ultimate manifestation of justice — ensuring no right, not even as small as a naqīr, is withheld.

🔹 Qur’an 4:54 — The Envied Blessing: A Wilayah and Mahdavi Perspective

🌙 The Noble Verse

أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ النَّاسَ عَلى ما آتاهُمُ اللهُ‌ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَقَدْ آتَيْنا آلَ إِبْراهيمَ الْكِتابَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ آتَيْناهُمْ مُلْكاً عَظيماً
“Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His bounty? But We had already given the family of Abraham the Scripture and wisdom and conferred upon them a great kingdom.” (Qur’an 4:54)

✍️ Narrations on Wilayah

1️⃣ Imam al-Sadiq (a.s.) 💬
“The people envied in this verse are We — the Ahl al-Bayt.” 📚 Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 23, p. 299

2️⃣ Imam al-Baqir (a.s.) 💬
“We, the Ahl al-Bayt, were envied because of the rank of Imamate which Allah granted us but did not grant others.” 📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 205

3️⃣ Ibn ‘Abbas (r.a.) 💬
“An-Nas in this verse means the Prophet (s.a.w.), ‘Ali (a.s.), and the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.).” 📚 Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 35, p. 425

4️⃣ Imam ‘Ali (a.s.) 💬
“We are the family of Abraham who were envied, just as our fathers were envied before us.” 📚 Al-Gharat, vol. 1, p. 115

5️⃣ Imam al-Rida (a.s.) 💬
“Allah, through this verse, has proven the superiority of the Prophet’s Household (a.s.) — whose obedience is as obligatory as obedience to the Book and wisdom.” 📚 Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 25, p. 220

6️⃣ The Prophet (s.a.w.) 💬
“Enemies of Allah’s blessings are those who envy the people for what Allah has granted them of His bounty.” 📚 Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 70, p. 256

🌟 Wilayah Perspective

🔹 According to the Ahl al-Bayt’s teachings, an-Nas here refers specifically to them — the true bearers of the Book, wisdom, and the rightful divine governance.
🔹 This verse unveils a deep historical reality: the envy of Quraysh, the Umayyads, the Abbasids, and every deviating faction all stems from jealousy over this God-given Wilayah.
🔹 The divine bounty (fadhl) is Prophethood and Imamate — a trust given to Muhammad (s.a.w.) and his pure Household, which many opponents could never accept.

✨ Mahdavi Perspective

🔸 This envy of divine favor and Wilayah still lives on — the false powers of every age dread the fulfillment of this mulk ‘azim (great kingdom).
🔸 In the End Times, through the Reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (a.j.), this divine favor and great dominion will be fully realized, and the envious will be defeated.
🔸 He is the inheritor of the Book, wisdom, and the mighty dominion — the legacy of Abraham, Muhammad, ‘Ali, and all the Imams.
🔸 Under his just rule, the ancient roots of envy and oppression will be forever uprooted.

✅ Wilayah and Mahdavi Conclusion

✔️ This verse is a vivid portrait of Imamate through history: ▫️ All hostility traces back to envy; ▫️ The Ahl al-Bayt’s divine bounty was always denied by enemies; ▫️ True Wilayah will reach its perfection through the Mahdi (a.j.); ▫️ The promised great kingdom will be established on earth.

🔹 Qur’an 4:58 — The Trust of Imamate and the Promise of Mahdavi Justice

🌙 The Noble Verse

إِنَّ اللهَ‌ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا الْأَماناتِ إِلى أَهْلِها وَ إِذا حَكَمْتُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَنْ تَحْكُمُوا بِالْعَدْلِ إِنَّ اللهَ‌ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُمْ بِهِ إِنَّ اللهَ‌ كانَ سَميعاً بَصيراً
“Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people, to judge with justice. Excellent is that which Allah instructs you. Indeed, Allah is Ever Hearing and Seeing.” (Qur’an 4:58)

✍️ Narrations on Wilayah

1️⃣ Imam al-Baqir (a.s.) 💬 “The ‘trust’ (amanah) here means the station of Imamate which the preceding Imam must hand over to his successor: the knowledge, the books, and the Prophet’s (s) weapon.” 📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 276 | Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 23, p. 289

2️⃣ Imam al-Sadiq (a.s.) 💬 “An Imam is known by three signs: he is the closest to the previous Imam, he holds the Prophet’s (s) weapon, and the testament (wasiyyah) is with him. This is the trust that must reach its rightful owner.” 📚 Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 23, p. 277

3️⃣ Imam al-Ridha (a.s.) 💬 “The trust is the Imams of the Family of Muhammad (s). An Imam entrusts it only to his divinely appointed successor.” 📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 1, p. 276

4️⃣ Imam al-Kazim (a.s.) 💬 “This verse directly concerns us: each Imam must deliver the command of Imamate to the Imam after him.” 📚 Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 23, p. 278

5️⃣ Imam al-Sadiq (a.s.) 💬 “By Allah! What is meant here is the trust of Imamate and Wilayah.” 📚 Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 23, p. 276

6️⃣ Imam al-Baqir (a.s.) 💬 “True justice in judgment is fulfilled when the command of Wilayah appears in our hands and the governance of the Mahdi (a.j.) is established.” 📚 Bashara al-Mustafa, p. 193

🌟 Wilayah Perspective

🔹 According to the Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.), the trust (amanah) is not merely material wealth or mundane responsibility, but rather the supreme trust of Imamate, passed divinely from one Imam to the next — like the Ark of the Covenant among the Israelites. 🔹 Genuine justice in rulership and judgment finds perfection only when the Infallible Imam leads the Ummah.

✨ Mahdavi Perspective

🔸 This verse is a clear pointer to the reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (a.j.):
▫️ “Indeed, Allah commands you…” will find its perfect fulfillment in the End Time.
▫️ The trust of Wilayah, handed down from the Prophet (s) through the Imams (a.s.), will finally be made manifest in the hands of the Awaited Mahdi (a.j.).
▫️ Absolute justice — “to judge with justice” — will only take shape under the global government of the Mahdi (a.j.), ending the long usurpation of this sacred trust.

✅ Wilayah and Mahdavi Conclusion

✔️ The greatest trust — the Imamate — must be transferred in the divine lineage as decreed.
✔️ Complete justice will be established only with the rise of the true Bearer of the Trust: Imam Mahdi (a.j.).
✔️ This verse is the bridge linking divine trust and the global governance of justice in the era of reappearance.
