About the Surah

       He has sent down to you [Muhammad ( )] the Book in which there are absolutely clear Verses and these are the foundation (or substance) of the Book. There are also Verses whose meanings are not entirely clear (i.e. allegorical). So the people who have deviation (from the truth) in their minds fol-low the Verses whose meanings are not entirely clear seeking trial (dis-belief) and their hidden meanings. And nobody knows the explana-tions of these Verses except Allah. And the people who are sound in knowledge say: “We believe in it. All (Verses) are from our Creator.” And only the people of understand-ing learn a lesson from it.
