The passages of the Qur’aan contain advice and guidance in the form of laws,
parables, stories, and arguments for those who choose to believe in God and the
Day of Judgment. Hence, a believer’s success and happiness in this life and the
next largely depend on his understanding, internalization, and application of the
concepts contained in the Book. However, the depth of comprehension of the
Qur’aan’s meanings will vary from individual to individual due to natural
differences in intelligence. This variation existed even among the sahaabah
(companions of Prophet Muhammad (r), in spite of the Qur’aan’s clarity of
expression and its revelation in seven different dialects. Moreover, Allaah, the
Most Wise, chose to place generalities in the Qur’aan, some of which He later
explained in its other verses, while some he explained only to the Prophet (r).
The Prophet (r) knew and understood the Qur’aan completely because Allaah
had chosen him as its vehicle and explained it all to him. Hence, Allaah said in
one verse:
