高贵的《古兰经》并没有某些人所宣称的“表层”（Zaahir）含义与“隐秘”（Baatin）含义之分。它是阿拉伯语的言辞，以阿拉伯人的语言降示。安拉（SWT）说：

The noble Qur‟an does not have a Zaahir (outer) or Baatin (secret) meaning as some claim. It is an Arabic speech, which has come in the tongue of the Arabs. He (swt) said:

“我已将它降示为阿拉伯文的《古兰经》。”（《古兰经》十二章2节）

“We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur‟an.” (TMQ Yusuf: 2)

“用清晰的阿拉伯语。”（《古兰经》诗人章：195）

“In the plain Arabic language.” (TMQ Ash-Shu‟ara: 195)

它的理解方式与理解任何阿拉伯语言的言辞一样。安拉(SWT)在《古兰经》中的意图,就是高贵的《古兰经》本身所表达的内容。安拉(SWT)并未意图表达其他任何东西,只有所表达的内容。对祂意图的理解,只能通过对句法的理解来获得。阿拉伯语的含义,就是安拉(SWT)在祂的言辞中所意图的,祂用阿拉伯语的词汇和阿拉伯式的表达方式将其表达出来。因此,言辞的意涵就是言辞所指示的内容,通过《天经》或《逊奈》中提到的语言学证据和沙里尔的指示来确定。这里没有"外在"或"内在"之分;它只有一个由阿拉伯语言辞所指示的含义,通过对阿拉伯词汇和表达方式的理解而得知。

It is understood the same way as any Arabic speech is understood. What Allah (swt) intends by the Qur‟an is what has been expressed by the noble Qur‟an itself. Allah (swt) did not intend anything other than what was expressed. His intention is only understood from understanding of the syntax. The Arabic meaning is what Allah (swt) intended in His speech, which He (swt) expressed in the Arabic words and Arabic style. Accordingly, the import of the speech is what the speech indicated, through the linguistic proofs and the Shar‟i indication mentioned in the Kitaab or Sunnah. This has no „outer‟ or „inner‟; it rather has a meaning indicated by the Arabic speech, through the understanding of the Arabic words and styles.
