Commentary
Muḥkamāt are those verses of the Qur'ān which are very clear and manifest in meaning, such Verses are called the Mother of the Book. These Verses have the status of being the central referral points for the rest of the Book. In case of any dispute or disagreement, it is decided in the light of the scale of these Verses. The people are invited to the Religion in these Verses; also in them are explained the fundamentals of Faith, worships and the Laws of Sharī'ah. Mutashābihāt are the Verses of the Holy Qur'ān that are beyond our observances and knowledge, or about matters which may be interpreted differently, and these Verses are mentioned for the matters of similitudes, parables and other lessons.
