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 'Imām' (Guide):
"The following hadith is about the virtues of the Qur'an: "Indeed, everything has a heart and the heart of the Qur'an is Yā-Sin (Surah 36)" (Trimidhi, V, 162). One main reason for this title of Yā-Sin is that the Treasure of the treasures of God is mentioned in it, which is: "And We have encompassed everything in the manifest Imam." (36:12). That is, God enfolds the universe in the living and present Imam and also unfolds it from him."
