Part of speech of Ayatollah Vahid Khorasani
what is Qur`an. part 1

Mid-Sha`ban cannot be described or understood. We hear some descriptions but understanding these subjects is beyond the limits of our understanding. Who is Imam Zaman? This is one question. What is the Qur`an? This is the second question. As for what is Qur`an. Those who study the Qur`an know that what is located bain al-daftayn, between the two covers of this book, is everything that God revealed to the 124 000 prophets. It is all in this book. Comprehending and understanding the subject matter astonishes the intellect. That is, that which was with Adam and that which God gave to Noah, that which God favoured his friend Abraham with, that which the Creator gave to Moses, son of Imran and bestowed on Jesus, son of Mary, that which was given to the first person in creation and the complete intellect, all are in this book. It begins with, "In the name of Allah, the most beneficent, the most merciful," (that is,) the chapter (called) al-Hamd and ends with the chapter (called) Nas (human beings). This is the Qur`an! Everyone has to do his duty in regards to the Qur`an. The duty (one has) in regards to the Quran can be summed up in two words, the matter at hand can be summarised in these two words. One is the reciting of the Qur`an, this is the first word, the second word is acting and behaving in accordance with the Qur`an. As for reciting the holy Qur`an. Whatever can be said (in regards to the matter) is contained in the words of the People of the House (of the Prophet). True knowledge is only that which is in the Qur`an and narrations (of the People of the House). Whatever comes from other than these sources is void. It is stated in a narration with a complete chain containing trustworthy reporters that The proof and sign of Allah stated, "Anything that..." The word 'any' is an indefinite pronoun that is general. "...has not come out of this house is void" "Anything that has not come out of this house..." Meaning the household of the People of the House that "Allah only desires to keep away the uncleanness from you, O people of the House! and to purify you a (thorough) purifying." That which is from other than this Household is void. Now, what is it that has come out of this House?
