Discover & Analyze r/EsotericIslam

"There is no Quranic verse which does not possess four types of meaning: exoteric (zahir), esoteric (batin), limit (hadd), divine plan (muttala'). The exoteric is for oral recitation; the esoteric is for the inner understanding; the limit consists of the statements laying down what things are permissible and what forbidden; the divine plan is that which God intends to realize within man by means of each verse." (-Imam Ali) This community is for those that study and adhere to the Batin.
