It is He who revealed to you the Book. Some of its verses are definitive; they are the foundation of the Book, and others are unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation, they follow the unspecific part, seeking descent, and seeking to derive an interpretation. But none knows its interpretation except God and those firmly rooted in knowledge say, "We believe in it; all is from our Lord." But none recollects except those with understanding.
What is the difference between clear and allegorical verses (muhkam and mutashabih)?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 3:7 He it is Who hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture WHEREIN ARE CLEAR REVELATIONS - THEY ARE THE SUBSTANCE OF THE BOOK - AND OTHERS (WHICH ARE) ALLEGORICAL. But those in whose hearts is doubt pursue, forsooth, that which is allegorical seeking (to cause) dissension by seeking to explain it. NONE KNOWETH ITS EXPLANATION SAVE GOD. AND THOSE WHO ARE OF SOUND INSTRUCTION SAY: WE BELIEVE THEREIN; THE WHOLE IS FROM OUR LORD - Pickthall, the brackets his own. This verse sets clear verses against allegorical ones and calls the clear ones the substance of the Book. The translations divide at one point: Pickthall, Sale, Rodwell and Palmer end a sentence after the words that none knows its explanation save God, while Itani runs on into those firmly rooted in knowledge. The study on twisting the meaning carries this verse too, for a different reason.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
Qur’an 3:7 says that the Book contains muḥkam verses, described as its foundation, and other verses that are mutashābih. The first term can carry the sense of firm, determinate or decisive. The second can mean resembling one another or admitting uncertainty; “allegorical” is one translation, not a complete definition.
The verse warns that people seeking deviation pursue what is ambiguous in order to create discord and seek its interpretation. A major reading difference concerns whether only God knows its ultimate interpretation or whether ‘those firmly grounded in knowledge’ are also included. Arabic manuscripts do not supply modern punctuation to settle that question for the reader.
The passage therefore establishes a hierarchy of clarity and warns against building divisive certainty on what is least settled. It does not provide a list classifying every verse. Later schools differ over which passages belong to each category and how ambiguous language should be handled. AALAMIN should make that uncertainty visible rather than equating mutashābih automatically with metaphor.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 3:7.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

He it is Who hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture wherein are clear revelations - they are the substance of the Book - and others (which are) allegorical.

Er ist es, Der das Buch (als Offenbarung) auf dich hinabgesandt hat. Dazu gehören eindeutige Verse - sie sind der Kern des Buches - und andere, mehrdeutige (Verse). Was nun diejenigen angeht, in deren Herzen (Neigung zum) Abschweifen ist, so folgen sie dem, was davon mehrdeutig ist, (und dies) im Trachten nach Irreführung und im Trachten nach ihrer Missdeutung. Aber niemand weiß ihre Deutung außer Allah.

Αυτός είναι που σου έστειλε (ω, Μωχάμμαντ), το Βιβλίο (το Κορ’άν).

Όσο γι’ εκείνους στις καρδιές των οποίων υπάρχει απόκλιση από την αλήθεια, (αφήνουν τα Εδάφια που αποτελούν τα θεμέλια του Βιβλίου, και) ακολουθούν μόνο αυτά (τα Εδάφια) που μπορούν να ερμηνευτούν με παραπάνω από μια σημασία (χωρίς να τα ερμηνεύσουν υπό το φως των άλλων Εδαφίων), αναζητώντας να εγείρουν παρανοήσεις και πλάνη ανάμεσα στους ανθρώπους και αναζητώντας να τα ερμηνεύσουν (πέρα από την αληθινή σημασία τους και σύμφωνα με τις παραπλανημένες απόψεις τους). Και κανείς δεν ξέρει την (αληθινή) ερμηνεία τους, παρά μόνον ο Αλλάχ. Και αυτοί που είναι σταθεροί στη γνώση, λένε: «Πιστεύουμε σ’ αυτό (ολόκληρο το Κορ’άν).

(ऐ नबी!) वही है जिसने आप पर[2] (यह) पुस्तक उतारी, जिसमें से कुछ आयतें मोह़कम[3] (स्पष्ट तर्क वाली) हैं, वही पुस्तक का मूल हैं, तथा कुछ दूसरी (आयतें) मुतशाबेह[4] (छिपे हुए और पोशीदा अर्थ वाली) हैं। फिर जिनके दिलों में टेढ़ है, तो वे फ़ित्ने की तलाश में तथा उसके असल आशय की तलाश के उद्देश्य से, सदृश अर्थों वाली आयतों का अनुसरण करते हैं। हालाँकि उनका वास्तविक अर्थ अल्लाह के सिवा कोई नहीं जानता। तथा जो लोग ज्ञान में पक्के हैं, वे कहते हैं हम उसपर ईमान लाए, सब हमारे पालनहार की और से है। और शिक्षा वही लोग ग्रहण करते हैं, जो बुद्धि वाले हैं।
È Lui che ha fatto discendere su di te il Libro in chiari versetti, che compongono la Matrice del Libro ﴿أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ﴾, e altri criptici; in verità quelli che hanno nel cuore una malattia, seguono i criptici per portare discordia e per cercare d’interpretarlo, ma nessuno sa come interpretarlo, tranne Allāh e quelli che sono sapienti nella scienza. Dicono: «Crediamo! Tutto viene dal nostro Dio!» Ma non se ne ricordano se non quelli che hanno intelletto.

Taigi tie, kurių širdyse yra nukrypimas (nuo tiesos), seka tomis, kurios nėra visiškai aiškios, siekdami Al-Fitna (daugiadievystės ir išbandymų) ir siekdami jų paslėptų prasmių, nors niekas nežino jų paslėptų prasmių, išskyrus Allahą. O tie, kurie yra tvirtai apmokyti žinių, sako: „Mes tikime tuo, visa tai (aiškios ir neaiškios eilutės) – iš mūsų Viešpaties.“ Ir niekas nesupranta perspėjimų, tik suvokiantys žmonės.

Он — Тот, Кто ниспослал тебе Писание, в котором есть ясные аяты — они составляют основу Писания, — и другие, многозначные. Что же касается тех, в чьих сердцах уклонение, то они следуют за тем, что в нём многозначно, из стремления к смуте и стремления к его толкованию. Но его толкование не знает никто, кроме Аллаха. А те, кто прочно утвердились в знании, говорят: «Мы уверовали в него: всё это — от нашего Господа», и назиданию внимают не иначе как обладатели разума.
Он је Онај Који ти објављује Књигу у којој су речи јасне; оне су матица Књиге; и друге које нису сасвим јасне. Они у чијим је срцима изопаченост следе оне које нису сасвим јасне у тежњи за смутњом и својевољним тумачењем. А тумачење њихово зна само Аллах. А они који су у знање дубоко проникли, кажу: „Ми у то верујемо; све је то од нашег Господара.“ А поуку примају само они разумом обдарени.

Ama wale ambao katika nyoyo zao umo upotovu, wao wanafuata zile zenye maana zisizo wazi kwa kutafuta fitina, na kutafuta kupotoa maana yake. Na wala hapana ajuaye maana yake isipokuwa Mwenyezi Mungu.

Det är han som har uppenbarat skriften för dig. I den finns dels tydliga verser, som utgör skriftens kärna, dels flertydiga verser. De med villfarelse i hjärtat följer de flertydiga verserna för att sprida tvivel och för att söka en godtycklig tolkning. Ingen känner dock till dess djupaste innebörd förutom Gud. Och de som är djupt förankrade i kunskap säger: ”Vi tror på den. Allt är från vår Herre.” Men endast de med förstånd låter sig påminnas.
Sana kitabı indiren O’dur. Onun bir kısmı, muhkem ki bunlar kitabın özüdür. Bir kısmı da müteşabih ayetlerdir. Kalplerinde eğrilik olanlar, fitne çıkarmak ve (kendilerine göre) onun tevilini yapmak için onun müteşabih olanlarına uyarlar. Oysa, onun tevilini Allah’tan başkası bilmez. İlimde derinleşenler ise “Biz, ona iman ettik, onun hepsi Rabbimizin katındandır.” derler. Temiz akıl sahiplerinden başkası düşünmez.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it6 of the 7 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 3:7, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - clear + revelations + they + are + the + substance + of + the + book; others + which + are + allegorical; none + knoweth + its + explanation + save + god; those + who + are + of + sound + instruction. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
Editorial revision. Reviewer: AALAMIN Remaining Studies Editorial Review, Volume 1. Version date: 2026-09-16. Correction history: the plain-words answer above replaces the version signed 2026-09-14, and this study's inclusion reasons were rewritten as plain English. Two earlier corrections previously carried inside the reasons themselves are recorded here instead: at 3:7 an earlier signed version joined “None knoweth its explanation save God” to the words following with no stop and left out Pickthall’s (Muhammad), (which are), forsooth and (to cause), all since restored; at 39:23 an earlier version left out his (now) and two bracketed markers and gave “doom” where Pickthall writes “punishment”, since restored. The Arabic, the translations and the source receipts are unchanged. This page additionally requires review by a qualified Arabic and Qur’anic studies specialist before publication; that condition is not discharged by this revision.
Correction record, 2026-09-17. Two passages were removed, 11:1 and 39:23: they were here only because of a claim that they share an Arabic root with the two kinds of verse named at 3:7, which no translation shows and this site gives no source for; at 3:7, a claim about punctuation in the Arabic was removed; the difference between the translations at that point is on the page. The verses shown and their translations are unchanged, except that passages were removed as stated.
