Kashf, or unveiling, names the removal of a veil from understanding or experience. It should not be read as an automatically verifiable report of supernatural facts.
Distinctions and context
Reconstruct the narrator’s claim and its rhetorical setting, and then state what historical evidence could actually corroborate. A devotional witness is not the same as independent verification.
Research question
Is the passage a report of an experience or a general epistemological rule?
