قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

رهبران الهمی؛ شناخته‌شده و آشنای مردم

از این یه روشن می‌گردد که رهبران الهی همیشه مردمی شناخته‌شده به نیکی‌ها بودند؛ چرا که اگر افراد ناشناخته‌ای بودندء به حکم این آیه» بهانه‌ای به دست مخالفان و معاندان می‌افتاد که دعوت شناخته‌شدة آنها را به خاطر ناشناخته بودن خودشان نادیده گیرند و انکار کنند. پیامبر اسلام(ص) نیز در زمان خودء مردی شناخته‌شده بود. قبیلةٌ آن حضرت (قریش) و طایفة آن جناب (ینی‌هاشم) به عظمت و شرافت معروف بود. دودمان آن حضرت تا ابراهیم خلیل(ع) از شناخته‌شدگان و بزرگان بودند. و از همه مهم‌تر» خود آن جناب به درستی و صداقت و امانت چنان مشهور بود که به او محمد امین می‌گفتند.
