[Pooya/Ali Commentary 13:39] See commentary of al Baqarah: 2 and Ali Imran : 7. Ummul kitab is the preserved tablet, the original of all divine decrees. Ali ibn abi Talib said: "If the forces of evil had exterminated the Quran, not leaving a single verse, I would have even then related every event that would happen till the day of judgement." Aqa Mahdi Puya says: Our view of the universe is similar to the two records of the creation-partial and complete. The partial view is the subject of empirical investigation, liable to change. The complete view is the subject of spiritual investigation, unimpeachable and final.
