Muhkamat ayat: These are the ayat that have only one meaning according to the rules of the Arabic language or else the meaning of the ayah is clearly known. Examples of this type of ayat are: the saying of Allah, ta^ala: Suratash-Shura,ayah 11 means: [There is nothing like Him] and His saying, ta^ala: Suratal-Ikhlas, ayah 4 means: [There is nothing which is equal to Him], and His saying, ta^ala: SuratMaryam,ayah 65 means: [Do you know of anything which is similar to Him? There is none.] Mutashabihat ayat: These are the ayat that can have many meanings according to the rules of the Arabic language. Assigning meanings to these ayat requires thorough thinking so that acceptable meanings are given to them. Examples of this type of ayat are: the saying of Allah, ta^ala, in Surat Taha, ayah 5: and His saying, ta^ala, in SuratFatir, ayah 10: According to the rules of the Arabic language, these ayat are mutashabihat; so they can have many meanings. If meanings are assigned to them, this must be done in a manner that complies with the language and the Religion, and does not contradict the ayat that are muhkamat. Surely the ayat of the Qur'an do not contradict one another. Likewise, the ahadith (sayings of the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam,) do not contradict one another, and they do not contradict the ayat of the Qur'an. www.alsunna.org/forum/index.php?topic=14 7.0 www.alsunna.org/forum/index.php?topic=14 7.msg305#msg305
