المر ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ
13:1 This Chapter opens with the letters Alif Lâm Mîm Râ (المر), which are an abbreviation ofأنا اللَّهُ أعلم وأرئ -“I am Allâh Who knows and Who is seeing.” In contrast, the previous three chapters began with only three of these four letters, namely Alif Lâm Râ الر which is short for أنا اللَّهُ أرئ– “I am Allâh Who is seeing.” The addition of the abbreviated letter mîm مshows that the subject matter of this chapter is slightly extended from that of the three preceding chapters. This illustrates how every letter in the Qur’ân is divinely selected and intended.
