Ya Ali Madad. This post consists of two parts:

Part 1: The tawil of Quranic words or ayats pertaining to Imam and Imamat

Let us read the following ta'wil:

Ta'wil of word 'Madînat al-ilm' (The city of knowledge):

"It is stated in Hadith: "I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate, so whoever wants knowledge let him come through the gate." (Sharh, I, 89). That is, whoever wants the treasures of the knowledge of certainty, the eye of certainty, and the truth of certainty, then it is necessary and imperative for him to enter the city of knowledge of the Prophet by walking in the light of the unprecedented guidance of the Ali of the time."
