Quranic Rule for Immunity from Deviation

In the Tafsir al-Mizan of the late Allamah Tabatabaei, more than 30 pages of scientific, interpretative and narrational discussion have been made about this verse. The focus of Allamah Tabatabaei’s discussion under this verse is the discussion of the soul and self of man and that truth that shapes the identity of man and provides the basis for the growth, perfection and transcendence of man. Naturally, every human being seeks to grow and achieve transcendence. We, who are involved in the natural environment of life, often follow the factors and obstacles to growth in our surroundings. For example, my family and my job and my income and my society should be such that they cause my growth.

 

This noble verse calls upon us to pay attention to ourselves and that all external contexts are only contexts and the main factor is man himself and as is stated in the emphases of the wise leader of the Islamic Revolution, our most important duty is to pay attention to ourselves and correctly identify the duty and be committed to it. If we pay attention to ourselves, fulfill our duties, and guard against the influence of external factors on our souls and insides, and we are able to manage the distorting and deviating factors that enter our souls, no factor can lead us astray. The Leader of the Revolution reminds us:

“The message of the martyrs to me, you, and all those who respect these innocent bloods shed unjustly is this. Do not look at someone who has gone astray and has gone to gather spoils. “I will not harm you if I go astray while I have been guided.” What do you have to do with someone else going astray? You protect and preserve yourself. This is the commandment of Islam and the message of the blood of the martyr.”

 

This very meaning and attention to this formula that God Almighty has put forward is very important. That is, if there were not such a strong and clear verse that has a clear text and meaning, we could not give a definitive ruling that every human being and believer should pay attention to himself, others and external factors cannot prevent him from the path of guidance. Of course, external factors may create obstacles and cause some apparent harm, but they cannot cause serious harm to our path of guidance in a way that would divert us from the path.
