12 Preface إِنّا نَحنُ نُحيِي المَوتىٰ وَنَكتُبُ ما قَدَّموا وَآثارَهُم ۚ وَكُلَّ شَيءٍ أَحصَيناهُ في إِمامٍ مُبينٍAli Quli QaraiIndeed it is We who revive the dead and write what they have sent ahead1 and their effects [which they left behind],2 and We have figured everything in a manifest Imam.3 That is, the deeds they have done.That is, the good or evil heritage and imprint they leave behind in the society in which they have lived, and which outlive them.Or, in a manifest book.
