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 'Ism a'zam' (Supreme Name of God):
"Imâm Jafar as-Sâdiq has said "Allah has concealed one name, i.e., the supreme Name and He has 360 names." (Lughât, Sîn, p. 175). The supreme Name or the great secret is in two forms: as a word and as a person. As a word, it is "al-hayyu'l-qayyūm" (the Everliving, the Everlasting) (2:255; 3:2) and as a person it is the True Guide, i.e., the Prophet and the Imam of the time (see Wajh, p. 124-129)"
