Qur'an ina aya zilizo wazi (Muhkam) na aya zisizo wazi (Mutashabih), kama alivyosema Allah Ta'ala: {…baadhi yake ni aya zilizo wazi; hizo ndizo msingi wa Kitabu, na nyingine ni zisizo wazi…} Surat Aali Imraan 7. Muhkam ni kile ambacho maana yake inaonekana wazi na ufafanuzi unaondoa uwezekano wa kuwa na maana tofauti, kama alivyosema Allah Ta'ala: {…Allah amehalalisha biashara na kuharamisha riba…} 275 Surat Al-Baqarah, na {Na mwizi, mwanamume na mwanamke, kateni mikono yao…} 38 Surat Al-Ma'idah, na katika Sheria kuna: {Na katika kisasi mna uhai kwenu, enyi wenye akili; ili mpate kujizuia} 179 Surat Al-Baqarah, na aya nyingine zinazofanana nazo. Ama mutashabih ni kinyume cha muhkam, na ina uwezekano wa kuwa na maana zaidi ya moja, ambazo zinaweza kuwa sawa au zisiwe sawa. Mfano wa maana zilizo sawa ni kauli yake Ta'ala: {Wanawake walioachwa wajizuie wenyewe kwa muda wa hedhi tatu…} 228 Surat Al-Baqarah. Neno (quru') huenda likamaanisha hedhi (hayd) au usafi (tuhr). Pia kauli yake Ta'ala: {…isipokuwa wao wakisamehe, au yule ambaye fungu la ndoa liko mikononi mwake (nusu ya mahari) akasamehe…} 237 Surat Al-Baqarah. Yule ambaye fungu la ndoa liko mikononi mwake huenda akawa mume au walii. Na kauli yake Ta'ala: {…au mmekutana na wanawake…} 43 Surat An-Nisaa', kwa kuwa neno hilo linasitasita kati ya kugusa kwa mkono na kujamiiana. Mfano wa maana ambazo hazilingani ni kauli yake Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu:{Lakini utabaki (milele) Uso wa Mola wako Mwenye Utukufu na Ukarimu} Surat Al-Rahmaan, 27. {Nitakapomkamilisha (kwa umbo sawa) na kumpulizia roho Yangu...} Surat Al-Hijr, 29. {...katika vile ambavyo Mikono Yetu imevitengeneza...} Surat Yaseen, 71. {Mwenyezi Mungu atawarudishia dhihaka yao, na atawaacha katika upotevu wao; hivyo watazunguka-zunguka kama vipofu} Surat Al-Baqarah, 15. {Nao makafiri wakapanga njama, na Mwenyezi Mungu pia akapanga njama, na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye bora wa wanaopanga njama} Surat Aal Imraan, 54. {Na mbingu zitakunjuliwa kwa mkono Wake wa kulia. Utakasifu ni Wake, na Yeye yuko juu kabisa ya washirika wanaomshirikisha nao} Surat Al-Zumar, 67. Na mfano wa hayo, yana uwezekano wa maana kadhaa kulingana na ufahamu wa lugha ya Kiarabu kwa mujibu wa mitindo ya Waarabu, na kulingana na maana za kisharia. Yote hayo ni mutashabih (yasiyo wazi). Kwa hakika yanaitwa mutashabih kwa sababu ya kutokuwa wazi kwa maana yake kwa msikilizaji. Mutashabih si kwamba maana yake haieleweki, kwa sababu hakuna chochote katika Qur'an kisichoeleweka, kwani kuingiza katika Qur'an kitu kisichoeleweka kungeifanya isiwe ufafanuzi kwa wanadamu, na hilo ni kinyume na kauli yake Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu: {Hii ni bayana kwa watu, na mwongozo na mawaidha kwa wenye kumcha Mwenyezi Mungu} Surat Aal Imraan, 138. Kuhusu herufi za alfabeti zilizo mwanzoni mwa sura (surat), zina maana, kwa kuwa ni majina ya sura na vitambulisho vyake; tunasema surat: surat na surat na surat, na kadhalika. Hakuna chochote katika Qur'an kisicho na maana na kisichoweza kueleweka, bali kila kilichokuja katika Qur'an kinaweza kueleweka, na Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu ametakasika, kwani Yeye huwasemesha wanadamu kwa yale ambayo ni vigumu kwao kuyaelewa.

The Qur'an contains precise (Muhkam) and imprecise verses according :said ala'Ta Allah what to (…some of it are precise verses; they are the foundation of the Book and others are imprecise...) 7 Surat Aali Imraan. The muhkam (precise) is what its meaning appears and exposes an exposure that removes the possibility (of :saying s'ala'Ta His like) meanings different Allah} (… has permitted trade and forbidden usury…)275 Surat Al-Baqarah, And the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hands…)38 Surat Al-Ma'idah, of Law the In Equality there is life for you, O you men of understanding; that you may restrain yourselves) 179 Surat Al-Baqarah, and other alike verses. As for the mutashabih (imprecise), it is the contrary of the muhkam, and has the probability of more than one meaning, either equal to each other or not equal. An example for which the meaning came equal is His Ta'ala's saying: Divorced women shall wait concerning themselves for three monthly periods…)228 Surat Al-Baqarah, the word (corou') probably means the menses (hayd) or the purity (Tohr), and His Ta'ala's saying: ِ...) } unless they remit it or (the man's half) is remitted by him in whose hands is the marriage tie…)237 Surat Al-Baqarah, so the one that has the tie of the marriage is probably the husband or the guardian (wali), and His Ta'ala's saying: {or ye have been in contact with women…) 43 Surat Al-Nisaa', for the hesitation of it between the touching by hand and the copulation. An example for what the meaning came as not equal to each other is His Ta'ala's saying:{But will abide (forever) the Face of your Lord, The Full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour) 27 Surat AlRahmaan, {When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit…) 29 Surat Al-Hijr, among other things which Our Hands have fashioned…) 71 Surat ,Yaseen {Allah will throw back their mockery on them, and give them rope in their trespasses; so they will wander like blind ones (to and fro)) 15 Surat A-lBaqarah, plotted) Unbelievers then (And} and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah) 54 Surat ِ,Imraan Aal in up rolled be will heavens the and} His right hand: Glory to Him and High He is above the Partners they attribute to Him) 67 Surat Al-Zumar, and the like, it has the probability of several meanings according to the understanding of the Arabic language with respect to the Arabs' styles, and according to the shari'ahi meanings, all that is mutashabih (imprecise). Verily it is named mutashabih for the uncertainty of its meaning to the listener. The mutashabih is not what its meaning is not understandable because there's nothing in the Qur'an that is not understandable, because there inclusion of the Qur'an of something not understandable makes it out of being a clarification to the mankind, and that is contrary to His Ta'ala's saying: Here is a plain statement to mankind, a guidance and instruction to those who fear Allah) 138 Surat Aal Imraan. As for the alphabetic letters in the beginning of the chapters (surat); they do have meanings, because they are names for the chapters and definers for them, we say surat: surat and :surat and َsurat and etc. There is nothing in the Qur'an that has no meaning and could not be understood, but all what came in the Qur'an can be understood and exalted be Allah Ta'ala that He addresses mankind by that which is impossible for them to understand.
