The Quran differs from the other heavenly books in that it includes a large number of mysterious ayat like puzzles.
People failed to grasp the exact meaning of such ambiguous revelations included in the Quran.
The messenger of God himself was not tasked to explain such secrets and puzzles.. he was tasked only to convey the Quran to people.
God's messenger himself was astonished of such ayat .. he did not comprehend them.. he tried hard to understand them, but he could not reach to their true explanation.
Prophet Mohammed once was observed to repeat the reciting of the first aya in the beginning of every soora, which means:
(In the name of God, Most Gracious Most Merciful) in a way of pondering and contemplating, because in Arabic the two words Rahman & Raheem are near to each other in pronunciation.
The Arab did not know even that one of God's fair names is the Rahman which means: Most Gracious Whose mercy includes both the believer and the non-believer in the life of the World.
Prophet Mohammed was asked about the meaning of some of these ambiguous ayat, he said: "I don't know; I heard it from the angel as such!"
People of many generations tried hard to understand such ayat, but they did not attain to the knowledge about these revelations.
Although the main essence part of the Quran is known and clear, which includes most of the statements and law which people work accordingly.
But the Quran told people that later on they will be acquainted about the ambiguous ayat, and that will be by the tongue and pen of the Awaited Mahdi.
Quran 38: 86-88, which means:
(86. Say, [Mohammed, to your people]: "I ask not of you recompense for it a;
neither am I charged with [interpreting the Quran. b]
87. [This Quran] is only an admonition for [all] the worlds c.
88. And you [people] shall surely come to know the explanation of [the ambiguous ayat of the Quran], after [a long period of] time d.)
...................................................................
86 a [i.e. for conveying the message to you] and so it may become difficult for you.
86 b It means: God did not task me to interpret for you its meaning and explain for you its puzzles; for that is up to God, and it is up to me to recite it to you, but not to explain it.
God – be glorified – said in the Quran 75: 19, which means:
(Then, [after a long period of time] We have to explain it [to people.])
87 c To be admonished with it.
88 d The meaning: You will know the explanation of the ambiguous ayat of the Quran which you denied and ridiculed.
