The Stronger Position Regarding the Disjointed Letters with Which Allah Began Some of the Chapters of the Qur'an.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The stronger position in this matter, meaning the disjointed letters with which some chapters begin, is that they have no meaning, but they have a significance. That significance is that this Noble Qur'an did not come with new letters; rather, it came with the letters from which you construct your speech, and yet it defeated you. For this reason, you will find that in the chapters beginning with these disjointed letters, a mention of the Qur'an or something that cannot be except by revelation follows. For example:
Alif, Lam, Mim. That is the Bookالم، ذلك الكتاب
After this, a mention of the Qur'an follows.
(1) Alif, Lam, Meem. (2) The Byzantines have been defeated (3) In the nearest land. But they, after their defeat, will overcome.الم، غلبت الروم في أدنى الأرض وهم من بعد غلبهم سيغلبون
[Ar-Rum 30:1-3]
It did not come with a mention of the Qur'an, but what followed is something that cannot be except by revelation .........
