Correspondence with Maulana Jalil Ahsan Nadwi

DISCUSSION AND CORRESPONDENCE to mention that your questions are extremely brief, and it is possible that you are using these questions or references to these verses to counter my perspective. However, this is not evident in your letter; rather, it only contains a few short, general questions. Had you expressed your complete point of view, I would have had more opportunities for reflection and could have responded in more detail. As it stands, your questions are very concise and unclear concerning the primary issue. Naturally, any answers I provide to these questions may also seem inadequate and unclear to you, as I can only answer based on what you have asked, not on the unexpressed thoughts you may still have. For future correspondence, I request that you please clarify the relationship between the questions and the primary issue, allowing me to better understand your perspective on the main matter and respond accordingly. Below, I am addressing your questions: Chapter Al-Hadid, Verse 25 1. By bayyinat, I understand the same meaning that Allama Alusi and other commentators have mentioned—namely, clear proofs and miracles. 2. “Al-kitab” refers to revelation, as Al-Zamakhshari has noted in his Al-Kashshaf.
