What is meant by the clear and the ambiguous in the verses of the Qur'an?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is meant by the clear and the ambiguous in the verses of the Noble Qur'an?

Answer:
The entire Qur'an is clear (muhkam) in the sense that its verses are perfected, and they all corroborate one another and explain one another, so it is all clear from this perspective. It is all similar (mutashabih) in the sense that some of it resembles some of it in beauty, eloquence, and sweetness, so it is similar, with some of it resembling some of it.
All of it is All of it is similar in this sense, and some of it is clear and some of it is similar. The clear is that which its meaning is not known except by referring it to the similar, and the similar is that which its meaning is not known except by referring it to the clear that explains it. The Qur'an explains some of it by some of it, and the Messenger explains the Qur'an.
The language in which it was revealed explains it, so it is three categories: all of it is clear in the sense that all of it is similar in the sense that some of it is clear and some of it is similar in the sense that everything has a meaning. Yes, Yes.
