Differences are found among the commentators about the pronouns that to which person they indicate, and the meaning of some words in the above verse. It begins with the main clause that:ِ

      ``Is ``he'' who has a ``clear sign'' from his Lord and a ``witness'' of him who recites and testifies it; and before it, was the Book of Moses, as an ``Imam'' and Mercy....''

      Is such a one comparable and equal to he who is not so? in the word, ``IS HE'' the pronoun, ``HE'' refers to the prophet Mohammad (AS), and the ``clear sign'' alludes to the Glorious Qurän, and he who, ``recites or testifies it'', is any truthful believer like HAZRAT IMAM ALI (AS) who never left the prophet.

      This clause of the verse implies that the Holy Qurän is sufficient a reason to prove the prophet's truthfulness, and if we deeply study the characters and conducts, and the wonderful qualifications of Imam Ali, who was grown, and trained, and taught, by the prophet; the reason is no less convincing than the Glorious Qurän. As a matter of fact, Qurän is a silent Ali, and HAZRAT ALI, is a speaking Qurän. Besides that, the signs and symptom of our prophet is given through the original revelation, TAWRÄT, the Book given to Moses. Here, the book given to Moses has been qualified by the adjectives, ``Imam'' and ``Mercy''.

      The Arabic, ``Imam'' which is usually translated to, Leader, Guide or pontiff, technically has other shades of meaning in Islam, such as; the spiritual and temporal head of IslamِAny of the twelve heads of Islam recognized by the ShiitesِAny person who leads the congregational prayerِAnd anyone who has authority in the theology and law.

      Hazrat Imam Ali is the first of the twelve Imams that are recognized by Shiites.
