TRANSLATOR'S INTRODUCTION

It is a fact of life that our world is filled with mysteries, ambiguities, and secrets. There are many things out there that we don’t realize exist until we come across it and discover it, whether accidentally or intentionally. There are many question marks that cross our minds in the many fields of life, whether scientific, environmental, or even simple day to day things. Yet we may ignore them or fail to pursue the answer.

Likewise, it is normal and not surprising to find such unsolved mysteries and unrevealed secrets in the divine scriptures and revelations that are sent to mankind. After all, God did state in the Holy Quran that “He sent down to you this scripture, containing straightforward verses which constitute the essence of the scripture, as well as multiple-meaning or allegorical verses.” [3:7] This is the case with all the other divine revelations as there is no change in the way of God. It is also from the mercy and justice of God that He send divine guidance and tools by which we may unravel and explain those ambiguous verses. This divine guidance may come from the same book itself or from other divine books. Or it may come in the form of prophets and messengers who clarify to us the inexplicable things. And it can be our God-given intellectual ability that enables us to use our minds and make logical deductions.
