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 'Ta'wil' (Hikmat: Wisdom):
"Regarding the Qur'ān, Mawlā Ali has said: "Its zahir or exoteric aspect is an obligatory act, its bâtin or esoteric aspect is hidden and veiled knowledge which is known to and written with us."
[Source: Ta'wil 195: A Thousand Wisdoms, p.108]
Ta'wil of word 'Ta'wil' (Hikmat: Wisdom):
"The Book and the wisdom are mentioned together in mumerous verses of the Qur'ân such as (2:129). In such cases by the Book is meant tanzil (zahir, exoteric) and by wisdom ta'wil (batin, esoteric), as is implied in verse (2:151): "(O the group of Imams!) as We have sent among you a messenger from among you who recites to you Our verses (in spirituality), purifies you and teaches you the Book and the wisdom."
[Source: Ta'wil 187: A Thousand Wisdoms, p.105]

Let us recite angelic salwats to invoke Divine grace and mercy.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Allâhumâ salli alâ Muhammadin wa âle Muhammad:
O Allah! Bestow Peace on and through Muhammad and his Descendants

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!
