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

It is He who has sent down to you the Book. Parts of it are definitive verses, which are the mother of the Book, while others are metaphorical. As for those in whose hearts is deviance, they pursue what is metaphorical in it, courting temptation, and seeking its interpretation. But no one knows its interpretation except Allah and those firmly grounded in knowledge; they say, ‘We believe in it; all of it is from our Lord.’ And none takes admonition except those who possess intellect.
— Ali Quli Qarai
He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:" and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding.
