We again come to our basic argument that Quran has everything for Men of all mental levels. So far we have seen what Quran has for the common man and for the intellectual man. But there also exists a third category of people who want more than this. They are looking for Spiritual satisfaction only. Their minds are far removed from this material world. They are different from a common man as well from the Intellectual. They are men who have devoted their entire lives to religion. Their intention is ONLY to seek the “Face of Allah” or be “Near to Allah.” For identification we will call these people Advanced people. I have tried to collect some verses that may be of interest to such people. The meaning of these verses are not easy to understand. These are advance spiritual matters and must be dealt with very carefully and sensitively. A novice reader or a person with bad intention can do more harm than good if these verses are not understood correctly. I have just given a widely accepted English translation (By Abdullah Yousuf Ali) of these verses. A detailed explanation or “Tafseer” is beyond the scope of our study here. The interested reader may refer to the relevant literature by our scholars and experts of Arabic language. Here I have just given a collection of the verses so that we know that Quran has these verses also. An entire lifetime may not be sufficient to grasp all their meaning. As Allah himself says in Quran in :
- 3:7 He it is who has sent to you the book. It has verses that are basic and fundamental. Their meaning is clear. They are the foundation of the book. Others are not entirely clear. But those whose hearts are absurd follow the part that is not entirely clear. Searching for disagreement, and looking for its interpretation. But no one knows its true meaning except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say, “We believe in its. The whole of it is from our Lord, and none will grasp the message except men of understanding.”
May Allah himself open the gates of knowledge for us. Now we shall look at the translation of some of these verses.
 
ALLAH
- 1:1,2,3,4,5: -In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful -Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher andSustainer of the worlds. -Most Gracious, Most Merciful -Master of the day of Judgment. -You do we worship, and your aid to we seek.
- 24:35 Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His light is as if there were a Niche and within it a lamp. The lamp enclosed in glass. The glass as it were a brilliant star lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the East nor of the West. Whose oil is luminous, though fire scarce touched it. Light upon Light.

Nor shall they know the extend of His knowledge except as He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the most High the Supreme.

He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things. - 10:3 Verily your Lord is Allah who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He established Himself on the Throne regulating and governing all things. No intercessor except after His permission. This is Allah your Lord Him therefore should you serve. Will you still not be warned.

- 55:26,27 -All that is on earth will perish. -But will remain (for every) the Face of your Lord full of majesty beauty and honor.

Prophet Muhammad (May the peace and Blessing of Allah be upon Him):
- 33:41,42,43,44,45,46 - O you who believe remember Allah with much remembrance. - And glorify Him morning and evening. - He it is who sends blessings on you as do his angles, that He may bring you our from the depths of darkness into light and He is full of mercy to the believers. - Their salutation on the day they meet Him will be “Peace!” and He has prepared for them a generous reward. - O Prophet! Truly We have sent you as a Witness, a Bearer of glad tidings and as a Warner. - And as one who invites to Allah’s (grace) by His leave and as a Lamp spreading light.
- 4:80 He who obeys the Messenger, obeys Allah, but if any turns away we have not sent you to watch over them.
- 7:157 Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the Taurat and the Gospel. For He commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil, he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure). He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in Him, and follow the Light which is sent down with him. It is they who will prosper.
- 7:188 Say, “I have no power over any good or harm to myself as a Allah wills, if I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good and no evil should have touched me I am only a Warner and a bringer of glad tidings to those who have faith. - 9:128 Now has come to you a Messenger from amongst yourself. It grieves him that you should suffer. Passionately anxious is he over you. To the believers is He most kind and merciful.

- 81:19 -Truly this is the word of a most honorable Messenger. -Endued with power, held in honor by the Lord of the Throne. -With authority there, (And) faithful to his trust.
Shifa (Intercession) :
- 6:51 Give this warning to those in whose hearts is the fear that they will be brought before their Lord. Except for Him they will have no protector nor intercessor, that may guard him(against evil).
- 5:35 O you who believe, do your duty to Allah. Seek the means of approach towards Him, and strive in His cause that you may prosper.
- 18:28 And keep yourself content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His face, and let not your eyes pass beyond them, seeking the pomp and glitter of this life, nor obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us, one who follows his own desires, and his affairs have become all excess.
- 20:109,110 - On that Day shall no intercession avail except those for whom permission has granted by the Most Gracious and whose word is acceptable to Him. - He knows what is before or after or behind them. But they shall comprehend Him not.
- 21:28 - He knows what is before them, and what is behind them, and they offer no intercession except for those who whom He is well pleased and they stand in awe and reverence of His (glory). - If any of them would say “I am a god besides Him,” such a one We should reward with Hell, thus do we reward those who do wrong.
- 34:23 No intercession can avail with Him except for those for whim He has granted permission. So far that when terror is removed from their hearts (at the day of judgement) will they say, “What is it that your Lord commanded?” They will say. “That which is true and just, and He is the Most High, Most Great.”
- 19:87 None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission from Allah most Gracious.

- 53:26 How many so ever be the angles in the heavens, their intercession will avail nothing except after Allah has given leave for whom He pleases and that he is acceptable to Him.
- 6:61 He is irresistibly supreme over His servants and He sets guardians over you. At length when death approaches one of you. Our angles take his soul and they never fail in their duty.
 
Miscellaneous:
- 5:104,105 - O you who believe! ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if you ask about things, when the Quran is being reveals, they will be made plain to you. Allah will forgive those, for Allah forgives again and again, and is most Tolerant. - Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith.
- 6:52 Send not away those who call morning and evening seeking His face. You are not accountable for them and they are not accountable for you, that you should turn them away, and be (one) of the unjust.

- 21:16,17 - Not for (idle) sport did We create the heavens and the earth and all that is between. - If it had been our wish to take a pastime, We should surely have taken it from the things nearest to Us, if We would do (such a thing).
