قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

حفاظت کامل پیامبر(ص)

جملةٌ «فانک باعیننا» تعبیر بسیار لطیفی است که هم حاکی از علم و آگاهی پروردگار و هم نشانگر حمایت کامل و لطف اوست. آری؛ انسان هنگامی که احساس کند شخص بزرگی ناظر و حاضر است و تمام تلاش‌ها و کوشش‌های او را می‌بیند و او را در برابر دشمنان حمایت می‌کنده هم توان و نیرو می‌یابد و هم احساس مسئولیت بیشتر می‌کند.
