Help through Light

Argument 20:

Verse (57:13) says:

“The day when the hypocritical men and hypocritical women will say to the believers: Wait for us that we may borrow (a little) light from your light. They will be told: Go back (to the initial history of the world) and (thence) seek the light”.

This wisdom-filled verse has many aspects from which appear the glimpses of manifold wisdoms. One of them is that one should go back through the path of history and recognise the true successor of the Prophet. This also means that the light in whose illumination the mu’mins will traverse the distance of the path of the Hereafter or the spiritual path, will be the same light which used to be among them in this world. Therefore, the hypocrites will be told that if you want to walk like them in the illumination of the light, go back to the world and recognise it there.

Another significant point in it is: Do not the hypocrites at this place cry for guidance, support and help? And do they not receive this reply that today you will not receive any help from the light, because you did not attain help from it in the life of the world?
