Is the entire Qur'an clear, and what is the ruling regarding the disjointed letters?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
It also contains reflection and taking a lesson from the signs of Allah in the universe that are observed. It is not the standard, yes.
The questioner:
Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: Is the intended meaning of the clear verses all the verses of the Qur'an? And what is the meaning of the verses that came with disjointed letters, such as His saying, the Exalted: Alif, Lam, Mim?
The Shaykh:
We have said that the entire Qur'an is clear, because the summarized verses and the ambiguous verses are explained by the clear verses. This includes the disjointed letters, which are among the ambiguous verses that the clear verses explain when some of them are referred to others. However, this requires those who are firmly grounded in knowledge; not everyone can do this.[Ali 'Imran 3:7]. As for the people of deviation and misguidance, they cut the Qur'an apart, taking some of it and leaving out the rest. This is the method of the people of deviation. As for those firmly grounded in knowledge, they believe in the entire Qur'an, in its clear parts and its ambiguous parts. They refer the ambiguous to the clear and explain it by it, and they say that everything [Ali 'Imran 3:7]. Yes.

But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it.
وَالرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِWe believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord.
آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا
