question just for muslims?

Question

why god write some thing in quran for us that we can not underetand it? ( letters in front of some surah)
i am sure it has meaning, and we could reach it. if it wasnt so , then why he write it for us?

Answer 1

the more we advance the more we understand Quran. many people who lived 5 centuries ago didn't understand some parts of the Quran that we understand today.

Quran speaks about atoms and molecules and lots of other things that people did not understand for some centuries or decades ago and when they found put about those stuff then they found out what Quran was speaking about.

Answer 2

May the Peace, blessings and Mercy of God be Upon you

Please know that you can use the word God for Allah, but not god. They are different in meaning, check a dictionary.

There has been much research and speculation on the muqatta'at.

By I feel strongest about the opinion giving by the Classical Scholar Ibn Kathir, "among those things whose knowledge God has kept only for Himself". All the rest of the information I have seen is speculation.

It important not to dwell on such points, but rather gain knowledge of the Qu'ran by reading the classical commentaries such as Tafsir Ibn Kathir.

Peace Be With You

Answer 3

Best explanation of abbreviated letters:
Of all the explanations given by various scholars, the one which is authentic and also supported by Tafsir of Ibne-Kathir, Zamakshari and Ibne-Taiymiyah is the following:

The human body is composed of various fundamental elements that are found in nature. Clay and dust are composed of the same fundamental elements. Yet it would be absurd to say that a human being is exactly the same as the dust.

We can all have access to the elements that are found in the human body, and add a few gallons of water, which is the constitution of the human body. We know the elements in the human body and yet we are at a loss when asked the secret of life.

Similarly the Qur’an addresses those people who reject its Divine authority. It tells them that this Qur’an, is in your own language, and over which the Arabs took pride. It is composed of the same letters that the Arabs used to express themselves most eloquently.

The Arabs were very proud of their language and Arabic was at its peak when the Qur’an was revealed. With the letters Alif Laam Meem, Yaa Seen, Ha-Meem, etc., (in Engllish we would say A, B, C, D) the Qur’an challenges mankind to produce a Surah at least somewhat similar to the Qur’an in beauty and elegance, if they doubt its authenticity.

Initially, the Qur’an challenges all the men and jinn to produce a recital like the Qur’an and adds that they would not be able to do it even if they backed each other. This challenge is mentioned in Surah Isra chapter 17 verse 88 and in Surah Tur chapter 52 verse 34.

Later the Qur’an repeats the challenge in Surah Hud chapter 11 verse 13 by saying produce ten surahs like it and later in Surah Yunus chapter 10 verse 38 produce one surah like it and finally the easiest challenge is given in Surah Al-Baqarah chapter 2 verses 23 and 24.

"And if ye are in doubt as to what We have revealed from time to time to Our servant, then produce a Surah like thereunto; and call your witnesses or helpers (if there are any) besides Allah if your doubts are true.

But if ye cannot – and of a surety ye cannot – then fear the fire whose fuel is men and stones – which is prepared for those who reject faith."
[Al-Qur’an 2:23-24]

To compare the skill of two artisans, they must be given samples of the same raw material and their performance evaluated in performing the same task. If they are tailors they must be provided with the same fabrics. The raw materials of the Arabic language are these letters Alif Laam Meem, Ya Seen (in English it is A, B, C, D, etc.) The miraculous nature of the language of the Qur’an does not lie only in the fact that it is the Word of Allah, but also in the fact that although made up of the same letters in which the pagan Arabs took pride, it has not been rivalled.

The Arabs are noted for their rhetoric ability, eloquence and meaningful expression. Just as the constituents of the human body are known to us and can be obtained by us, the letters comprising the Qur’an, such as Alif Laam Meem are known to us, and used frequently to formulate words. Life cannot be created by us, even if we possess knowledge of the constituents of the human body. Similarly we cannot capture the same eloquence and beauty of expression that we find in the Qur’an, despite knowing the letters that constitute the Qu’ran. The Qur’an thus proves its Divine origin.

4. Miraculous quality of Qur’an mentioned immediately after these broken letters
Therefore immediately after these broken letters are mentioned in the Qur’an, the following verses speak about the miracle of the Qur’an, and its authority e.g. in Surah Baqarah Chapter 2 verse 1-2:

"Alif Laam Meem.
This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah."
[Al-Qur’an 2:1-2]

Answer 4

The letters at the beginning of al Baqarat and several other surahs are actually major flaws in the idea. Muhammad originally delivered his "revelations" orally; they were not written down until after his death. No listener would have accepted random letters without questioning them, nor have been able to remember them after the fact. Hence, they could not have been part of the original text.

Answer 5

it's a special codes that God knows about it. i am sure it has some secrets behind. for example. prophet Muhammad recommend us to read the chapters which starts with letters "haa" "meem"

no one knows what's behind this codes of letter at the beginning of the chapter.

Answer 6

so we bother to read and understand it. arabic is the main language for muslims. just be aware that god created this life for a test. everything has its meaning

Answer 7

There are things that only God has the meaning of, it shows us, at least in my opinion, that we are merely creations with limited capabilities whereas He has no flaws and knows everything about his universe. It makes me humble really...

Answer 8

So people believe
that God knows every thing
that they don't now.

Answer 9

each and every thing written in quran e hakeem is true and has a meaning, just u need to find out....
islam teaches us to start any work with bismillah......
just ask anybody who knows arabic language....

Answer 10

So we can keep searching to know more about his Holiness.
