               interpretation  of  the  Quran  is    and     those    endued     with
               devoted  to  God,  and  the           knowledge,  standing  firm  on
               apparent meaning of the words         justice”.  (Quran,  3:  18)  and

               beginning of the Verse.               Perspective of Allameh Tabatabai
