Tafsīr

قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

پیامبر(ص) بر شریعت و آیین حق

«شریعت» به معنلی راهی است که برای رسیدن به آب در کنار نهرهایی که سطح آب از ساحل نهر پایین‌تر استء» احداث می‌گردد وبه هر راهی که انسان را به مقصد و مقصودش می‌رساندء اطلاق می‌شود. به کار گرفتن این تعبیر در مورد آیین حق به خاطر این است که انسان را به سرجشمة وحی و رضایت الهی و سعادت جاویدان که همجون آب حیات است، می رساند. این واره یک بار در قرآن به کار رفته و تنها در مورد اسلام است.
