| Summary: | Deliverance, one of the promising words of Quran, is a manifestation of the <br /> Divine's mercy and grace in order to bring about the needed ground for <br /> deliverance from obscurity and for reaching the safe point, or to provide a <br /> new opportunity for guidance and to prepare the way to attain perfection. But <br /> man, due to the extent of his belief and attachments is sometimes grateful for <br /> this grace and sometimes not. <br />The holy Quran has used the word 'deliverance' in three different <br /> meanings: 1- for whispering; 2- for throwing to a high place; 3- for release and <br /> relevance. In this article, besides the other meanings, we have focused on the <br /> third meaning and its characteristics in Quran. In addition we have inspected <br /> the factors and barriers of deliverance and the attitude of the saved after <br /> deliverance. The holy Quran reveals that all men know God as the true savior <br /> at the time of a disaster and that when disappointed from all causes, they <br /> return to their god-believing nature. Nevertheless, the saved may again fall. In <br /> other words 'deliverance' differs from 'salvation' and consists of different areas <br /> of meanings. <br /> |
