[1] These are disjointed letters (muqattaʿāt). According to most scholars, they are among the mutashabihat (ambiguous matters) whose true meaning is known only to Allah.
One wisdom behind them is that they serve as a reminder of the miraculous nature of the Qur’an: this book is composed of the very same letters that people use in their speech, yet they are unable to produce anything like it with those same letters. Most scholars have favored this view.
These disjointed letters appear at the beginning of thirty-one surahs, and after eliminating repetitions, they are fourteen unique letters, which together include almost all the types of Arabic letters.
[2] In this verse, there is encouragement toward the Noble Qur'an by mentioning three of its attributes. First, it is a complete book. Second, there is no doubt in it. Third, it contains complete guidance—meaning it shows the path of piety to those who seek it, and it keeps firm those who have already attained this path. (رَيْبَ) means doubt accompanied by denial and accusation, and here the intended meaning is such doubt. However, the opponents expressed this kind of doubt, so the verse negates the presence of any doubt. (لِلْمُتَّقِينَ) – A muttaqi (pious person) has three levels: First, one who protects themselves from all forms of shirk (polytheism) and disbelief. Second, one who fulfills commands and avoids prohibitions. Third, one who even avoids doubtful matters. Therefore, in all these states, the muttaqi remains in need of the guidance of the Qur'an. #95f5ff
