Hidden Meanings | Quran 3:7 | Misunderstood Quranic Verses | Dr. Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally explores the interpretation of Quran 3:7. This verse notes that while some Quranic verses are clear and straightforward, others are ambiguous. Dr. Shabir emphasized that several classical commentaries put forth the idea that only God knows the true meanings of these ambiguous verses. However, he says early Islamic scholars like Mujahid, a student of Ibn Abbas, argued that those well-grounded in knowledge might understand these ambiguous verses. Despite these differing views, Dr. Shabir pointed out that the absence of clear interpretations in classical Islamic literature supports the notion that only God comprehends the full meanings of all verses. He explains that this perspective is crucial to prevent people from imposing their own interpretations on verses which God intended to remain obscure.
