هُوَ
الَّذِي
أَنزَلَ
عَلَيْكَ
الْكِتَابَ
مِنْهُ
آيَاتٌ
مُّحْكَمَاتٌ
هُنَّ
أُمُّ
الْكِتَابِ
وَأُخَرُ
مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ
فَأَمَّا
الَّذِينَ
فِي
قُلُوبِهِمْ
زَيْغٌ
فَيَتَّبِعُونَ
مَا
تَشَابَهَ
مِنْهُ
ابْتِغَاءَ
الْفِتْنَةِ
وَابْتِغَاءَ
تَأْوِيلِهِ
وَمَا
يَعْلَمُ
تَأْوِيلَهُ
إِلَّا
اللَّهُ
وَالرَّاسِخُونَ
فِي
الْعِلْمِ
يَقُولُونَ
آمَنَّا
بِهِ
كُلٌّ
مِّنْ
عِندِ
رَبِّنَا
وَمَا
يَذَّكَّرُ
إِلَّا
أُولُو
الْأَلْبَابِ

It is God who has revealed the Book to you in which some verses are clear statements (which accept no interpretation) and these are the fundamental ideas of the Book, while other verses may have several possibilities. Those whose hearts are perverse, follow the unclear statements in pursuit of their own mischievous goals by interpreting them in a way that will suit their own purpose. No one knows its true interpretations except God and those who have a firm grounding in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All its verses are from our Lord." No one can grasp this fact except the people of reason.
