Is every beginning of the surahs from the ambiguous?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, what are the ambiguous beginnings of the surahs?

The Shaykh : What do you say about this? It says: What is the ambiguity in the beginnings of the surahs? Every beginning of the surahs is from the ambiguous, and the surahs that are with the letters of the alphabet. We say this is not correct, because we know that these letters do not have a meaning in themselves. We learned this from the Qur'an, which said:
(193) The Trustworthy Spirit has brought it down (194) Upon your heart, [O Muhammad] - that you may be of the warners - (195) In a clear Arabic language. نزل به الروح الأمين على قلبك لتكون من المنذرين بلسان عربي مبين
[Ash-Shu'ara 26:193-195]
And the clear Arabic tongue does not assign a meaning to these letters. So they have no meaning, and they are clear.
