Exegesis of the Noble Verse (Ta-Ha)

Question:
I hope you will explain it, and why was it started with this name (Ta-Ha* We have not sent down the Qur'an to you so that you would be distressed)?

Answer:
Answer: (Ta-Ha) These are disjointed letters. (Ta-Ha) are disjointed letters, like (Ya-Sin), like (Alif-Lam-Mim). These are disjointed letters with which some surahs begin, and it is not from the names of the Messenger, as some ignorant people imagine. It is not a name, but rather two disjointed letters with which the surah Ta-Ha was opened. Likewise, Ya-Sin; this is not a name, but rather Ya-Sin: the letter Ya is a letter, and the letter Sin is a letter; they are disjointed letters at the beginning of these two surahs. So one must be aware of that, for they are not from the names of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Qur'an contains surahs that begin with disjointed letters, whether one letter or more, and Allah knows best what He intends. However, some scholars, such as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, say that these disjointed letters are an indication of the inimitability (i'jaz) of the Qur'an. The inimitability of the Qur'an is that this Qur'an is composed of these letters, the best of which, and you speak with them and converse with them, yet you were unable to produce anything resembling the Qur'an, not even a verse or a surah. This is an indication of the inimitability. That is why, after every set of disjointed letters, there is a mention of the Qur'an: (Alif-Lam-Mim* That is the Book about which there is no doubt), (Ta-Ha* We have not sent down the Qur'an to you so that you would be distressed), and so on.
