The Shaykh :"Any verse that admits of two meanings equally, with no contradiction between them and no factor favoring one over the other, is to be understood as encompassing both meanings" Thus, the "clear" (mubin) is that which is clear in itself and makes others clear. The Qur'an is like this: it is clear in itself and makes others clear. As for its being clear in itself, this is evident: [Al-Qamar 54:17] We have made it easy in terms of its wording and easy in terms of its meaning for whoever wishes to remember.
