of the Qur’aan by Qur’aan. Allaah chose to clarify what He intended by revealing
other explanatory verses. For example, Allaah asks,

(ÇËÈ ä-͑$©Ü9$# $tB y71u‘÷Šr& !$tBur ÇÊÈ É-͑$©Ü9$#ur Ïä!$uK¡¡9$#ur )

“By the heaven, and by at-Taariq (the Knocker or Night
Approacher)—and what will make you understand what at-Taariq
is?”

He then answers His question in the next verse:

(ÇÌÈ Ü=Ï%$¨W9$# ãNôf¨Y9$# )

66
“It is the piercing star.”

Allaah also states in the Qur’aan:

èpyJŠÍku5 Nä3s9 ôM¯=Ïmé& 4 ϊqà)ãèø9$$Î/ (#qèù÷rr& (#þqãYtB#uä šúïÏ%©!$# $yg•ƒr'¯»tƒ )

( öNä3ø‹n=tæ 4‘n=÷Fム$tB žwÎ) ÉO»yè÷RF{$#

“O you who believe...beasts which are herded have been made
67
halaal for you except what will be recited to you.”

Two verses later He details the exceptions to the general rule:

66
Soorah at-Taariq (86):1-3.
67
Soorah al-Maa’idah (5):1.
