he it is who has bestowed upon thee from on high this divine writ containing messages that are clear in and by themselves and these are the essence of the divine writ as well as others that are allegorical. now those whose hearts are given to swerving from the truth go after that part of the divine writ which has been expressed in allegory seeking out confusion and seeking its final meaning but none save god knows its final meaning. hence those who are deeply rooted in knowledge say we believe in it the whole is from our sustainer albeit none takes this to heart save those who are endowed with insight.
هو الذي أنزل عليك الكتاب منه آيات محكمات هن أم الكتاب وأخر متشابهات فأما الذين في قلوبهم زيغ فيتبعون ما تشابه منه ابتغاء الفتنة وابتغاء تأويله وما يعلم تأويله إلا الله والراسخون في العلم يقولون آمنا به كل من عند ربنا وما يذكر إلا أولو الألباب
