Is it true that there are verses in the Qur'an whose meaning no one knows?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: Some people say that there are ambiguous verses in the Qur'an whose meaning no one knows. Is this correct?

The Shaykh:
Allah revealed the Qur'an to us so that we would reflect on all of it. As for what we have understood, praise be to Allah; and as for what we have not reached in understanding, we ask the people of knowledge.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted and Majestic said:
[This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon itsكِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ
[Sad 38:29]
Nothing is excluded from this
Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah, they would have found within it much contradiction.أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُوا فِيهِ اخْتِلَافًا كَثِيرًا
[An-Nisa 4:82]
So He commanded us to reflect on the entire Qur'an. As for what we have understood, praise be to Allah; and as for what we have not understood, we ask the people of knowledge about it. Yes.
