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 'Ahl adh-dhikr' (The Pure Imāms):
"Dhikr is one of names of the holy Prophet (65:10-11). The people of dhikr therefore, are the family of the holy Prophet. Dhikr is also one of the names of the Qur'ān (21:50), and so the people of dhikr, are the people of the Qur'ān. Dhikr is also the ism-i azam (supreme Name), i.e., the asmā'ul-husnā (the beautiful Names) and therefore, the people of dhikr are the people of ism-i azam, the pure Imāms. Thus, by the people of dhikr are meant the Imāms who guide the people and are enriched with the given knowledge (ilm-i laduni), and therefore, they are able to answer every difficult question related to knowledge."
