Commentary 11:1Alif Lâm Râ الرis the abbreviation of “I am Allâh Who is seeing” (cf. 2:1). Uhkimat أُحْكِمَتْ is something that is characterized by wisdom. It also means…
الر ۚ كِتَابٌ أُحْكِمَتْ آيَاتُهُ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ خَبِيرٍ
11:1Alif Lâm Râ الرis the abbreviation of “I am Allâh Who is seeing” (cf. 2:1). Uhkimat أُحْكِمَتْ is something that is characterized by wisdom. It also means to be made solid, sound and firm, clear by itself, free from defect, imperfection or ambiguity (Tâj; Lane). According to Zamakhsharî and Râzî, the conjunction Thummaثُمَّ does not denote a sequence in time, but rather a coordination of qualities and conditions. Fussilat فُصِّلَتْ signifies something to be explained in detail. Here it has been substituted for mutashâbuhat متشابة, which means “explained in detail those aspects of the Qur’ânic teachings that have many meanings” (cf. 3:7). Thus the Holy Qur’ân contains both the fundamental teachings of Islam and the details of those teachings. However, the details are always subordinate to the fundamentals.
