Al-Muhkam ni Lafdhi (maneno) yanayoongoza kwenye maana iliyokusudiwa kutoka kwake katika asili yake, kwa Dalaalah (ufafanuzi) wazi ambao hauwezi kufasiriwa kwa njia nyingine wala kufutwa (kunasikhwa) wakati wa Risaalah.

Al-Muhkam is the Lafzh (wording) guiding to the meaning that is intended from it in origin with a clear Dalaalah which is not open to interpretation or abrogation in the time of the Risaalah.

Kwa hiyo, Muhkam ndio wenye kiwango cha juu kabisa cha ubainifu kwa sababu hakuna nafasi ya mabadiliko ndani yake, na ni wazi zaidi kuliko Mufassar kwa sababu haiko wazi kwa kufutwa katika zama za Risaalah (yaani zama za ufunuo).

The Muhkam is therefore of the highest level of clarity because there is no openness (to change) within it and is clearer than the Mufassar because it is not open to being abrogated in the time of the Risaalah (i.e. time of revelation).

Mfano:

Example:

Allah (SWT) alisema:

Allah (swt) said:

Na Allah Ta'ala akasema:

And Allah Ta’Aalaa said:

Maana yaliyotajwa katika Aya hizi mbili hayako wazi kwa Ta'weel (tafsiri ya kimaana) na hayako wazi kwa Naskh (kufutwa). Aina hii inaitwa 'Muhkam Li'Ainihi' (Muhkam kwa asili yake), na hii ndiyo inayokusudiwa hapa.

These meanings mentioned in these two Aayah are not open to Ta’weel (interpretation) and are not open to Naskh (abrogation). This type is called ‘Muhkam Li’Ainihi’ (Muhkam in itself) and this is what is intended here.

1 – Ni wajibu kutenda kwa mujibu wa yale yanayoongoza kwayo kwa uhakika (Qat'an).

1 – It is obligatory to work (act) in accordance to what it guides to definitely (Qat’an).

2 – Ni miongoni mwa viwango vya juu kabisa vya ufafanuzi kuhusu Alfaazh za Nusoos (maneno ya matini).

2 – It is from the highest level of clarity in respect to the Alfaazh of the Nusoos (worded expressions of the texts).

3 – Katika wakati wa mgongano, hupewa kipaumbele (huwekwa mbele) juu ya matini nyingine zote zilizo wazi.

3 – It is put ahead (advanced) over all of the other clear texts at the time of conflict.
