84 Like other Muslims, Isma'ilis consider the Quran to be the revealed word of God, given to the prophet Muhammad over the course of more than two decades. How do Isma'ilis interpret the Quran?
Answer: As having both surface and hidden meanings

In this view, some of the Quran's teachings are visible and apparent on the surface; these are called "zahir." But there are also layers of hidden meanings - "batin" - that inform and illuminate faith and practice. Muhammad's son-in-law, Ali, is widely quoted as having said that each part of the Quran bears witness to the others, and each part makes the others more clear. Zahir and batin can thus be seen as complementary parts.

Isma'ilis see their present leadership as being uniquely qualified to interpret the batin. This leader - the Quran e Naatiq, or Speaking Quran - provides a way for a 1300-year-old revelation to maintain life and relevance for generations of believers.
