هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ ۖ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغَاءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ ۗ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۗ وَالرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنَا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.

هُوَ الَّذِى أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَـبَ مِنْهُ آيَـتٌ مُّحْكَمَـتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَـبِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَـبِهَـتٌ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فى قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَـبَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغَآءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَآءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَالرَسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلاَّ أُوْلُواْ الأَلْبَـبِ - رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ - رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ جَامِعُ النَّاسِ لِيَوْمٍ لاَّ رَيْبَ فِيهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ
(7. It is He Who has sent down to you the Book. In it are verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book; and others not entirely clear. So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation (from the truth) they follow (only) that which is not entirely clear thereof, seeking Al-Fitnah, and seeking its Ta'wil, but none knows its Ta'wil except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in it; all of it is from our Lord.'' And none receive admonition except men of understanding.)
(8. (They say): "Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower.'')
(9. "Our Lord! Verily, it is You Who will gather mankind together on the Day about which there is no doubt. Verily, Allah never breaks His Promise.'')
Allah states that in the Qur'an, there are Ayat that are Muhkamat, entirely clear and plain, and these are the foundations of the Book which are plain for everyone. And there are Ayat in the Qur'an that are Mutashabihat not entirely clear for many, or some people. So those who refer to the Muhkam Ayat to understand the Mutashabih Ayat, will have acquired the correct guidance, and vice versa. This is why Allah said,
هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَـبِ
(They are the foundations of the Book), meaning, they are the basis of the Qur'an, and should be referred to for clarification, when warranted,
وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَـبِهَـتٌ
(And others not entirely clear) as they have several meanings, some that agree with the Muhkam and some that carry other literal indications, although these meaning might not be desired. The Muhkamat are the Ayat that explain the abrogating rulings, the allowed, prohibited, laws, limits, obligations and rulings that should be believed in and implemented. As for the Mutashabihat Ayat, they include the abrogated Ayat, parables, oaths, and what should be believed in, but not implemented. Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Yasar commented on,
مِنْهُ آيَـتٌ مُّحْكَمَـتٌ
(In it are verses that are entirely clear) as "Containing proof of the Lord, immunity for the servants and a refutation of opponents and of falsehood. They cannot be changed or altered from what they were meant for.'' He also said, "As for the unclear Ayat, they can (but must not) be altered and changed, and this is a test from Allah to the servants, just as He tested them with the allowed and prohibited things. So these Ayat must not be altered to imply a false meaning or be distorted from the truth.'' Therefore, Allah said,
فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فى قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ
(So as for those in whose hearts there is a deviation) meaning, those who are misguided and deviate from truth to falsehood,
فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَـبَهَ مِنْهُ
(they follow that which is not entirely clear thereof) meaning, they refer to the Mutashabih, because they are able to alter its meanings to conform with their false interpretation since the wordings of the Mutashabihat encompass such a wide area of meanings. As for the Muhkam Ayat, they cannot be altered because they are clear and, thus, constitute unequivocal proof against the misguided people. This is why Allah said,
ابْتِغَآءَ الْفِتْنَةِ
(seeking Al-Fitnah) meaning, they seek to misguide their following by pretending to prove their innovation by relying on the Qur'an -- the Mutashabih of it -- but, this is proof against and not for them. For instance, Christians might claim that `Isa is divine because the Qur'an states that he is Ruhullah and His Word, which He gave to Mary, all the while ignoring Allah's statements,
إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ
(He `Isa was not more than a servant. We granted Our favor to him.) 43:59, and,
إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَى عِندَ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ ءَادَمَ خَلَقَهُ مِن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
(Verily, the likeness of `Isa before Allah is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!'' and he was.) 3:59. There are other Ayat that clearly assert that `Isa is but one of Allah's creatures and that he is the servant and Messenger of Allah, among other Messengers. Allah's statement,
وَابْتِغَآءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ
(And seeking for its Ta'wil,) to alter them as they desire. Imam Ahmad recorded that `A'ishah said, "The Messenger of Allah recited,
هُوَ الَّذِى أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَـبَ مِنْهُ آيَـتٌ مُّحْكَمَـتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَـبِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَـبِهَـتٌ
(It is He Who has sent down to you the Book. In it are verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book; and others not entirely clear,), until,
أُوْلُواْ الأَلْبَـبِ
(Men of understanding) and he said,
«فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الَّذِين يُجَادِلُونَ فِيهِ، فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ عَنَى اللهُ، فَاحْذَرُوهُم»
(When you see those who argue in it (using the Mutashabihat), then they are those whom Allah meant. Therefore, beware of them.)'' Al-Bukhari recorded a similar Hadith in the Tafsir of this Ayah 3:7, as did Muslim in the book of Qadar (the Divine Will) in his Sahih, and Abu Dawud in the Sunnah section of his Sunan, from `A'ishah; "The Messenger of Allah recited this Ayah,
هُوَ الَّذِى أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَـبَ مِنْهُ آيَـتٌ مُّحْكَمَـتٌ
(It is He Who has sent down to you the Book. In it are verses that are entirely clear,) until,
وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلاَّ أُوْلُواْ الأَلْبَـبِ
(And none receive admonition except men of understanding.) He then said,
«فَإِذَا رَأَيْتِ الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ؛ فَأُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ سَمَّى اللهُ، فَاحْذَرُوهُم»
(When you see those who follow what is not so clear of the Qur'an, then they are those whom Allah described, so beware of them.)'' This is the wording recorded by Al-Bukhari.
Allah said,
وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ
(But none knows its Ta'wil except Allah.) Similarly, as preceded in what has been reported from Ibn `Abbas, "Tafsir is of four types: Tafsir that the Arabs know in their language; Tafsir that no one is excused of being ignorant of; Tafsir that the scholars know; and Tafsir that only Allah knows.'' Scholars of Qur'an recitation have different opinions about pausing at Allah's Name in this Ayah. This stop was reported from `A'ishah, `Urwah, Abu Ash-Sha`tha' and Abu Nahik. Some pause after reciting,
وَالرَسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ
(And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge) saying that the Qur'an does not address the people with what they cannot understand. Ibn Abi Najih said that Mujahid said that Ibn `Abbas said, "I am among those who are firmly grounded in its Ta'wil interpretation.'' The Messenger of Allah supplicated for the benefit of Ibn `Abbas,
«اللَّهُمَّ فَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ وَعَلِّمْهُ التَّأْوِيل»
(O Allah! Bestow on him knowledge in the religion and teach him the Ta'wil (interpretation).) Ta'wil has two meanings in the Qur'an, the true reality of things, and what they will turn out to be. For instance, Allah said,
وَقَالَ يأَبَتِ هَـذَا تَأْوِيلُ رُؤْيَـى مِن قَبْلُ
(And he said: "O my father! This is the Ta'wil of my dream aforetime!''.) 12:100, and,
هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلاَّ تَأْوِيلَهُ يَوْمَ يَأْتِى تَأْوِيلُهُ
(Await they just for it's Ta'wil On the Day (Day of Resurrection) it's Ta'wil is finally fulfillled.)(7:53) refers to the true reality of Resurrection that they were told about. If this is the meaning desired in the Ayah above 3:7, then pausing after reciting Allah's Name is warranted, because only Allah knows the true reality of things. In this case, Allah's statement,
وَالرَسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ
(And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge) is connected to His statement,
يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِ
(say: "We believe in it'') If the word Ta'wil means the second meaning, that is, explaining and describing, such as what Allah said,
نَبِّئْنَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِ
((They said): "Inform us of the Ta'wil of this'') meaning its explanation, then pausing after reciting,
وَالرَسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ
(And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge) is warranted. This is because the scholars have general knowledge in, and understand what they were addressed with, even though they do not have knowledge of the true reality of things. Therefore, Allah's statement,
يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِ
(say: "We believe in it'') describes the conduct of the scholars. Similarly, Allah said,
وَجَآءَ رَبُّكَ وَالْمَلَكُ صَفّاً صَفّاً
(And your Lord comes, and the angels, in rows.) 89:22 means, your Lord will come, and the angels will come in rows. Allah's statement that the knowledgeable people proclaim,
يَقُولُونَ ءَامَنَّا بِهِ
(We believe in it) means, they believe in the Mutashabih.
كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا
(all of it is from our Lord) meaning, both the Muhkam and the Mutashabih are true and authentic, and each one of them testifies to the truth of the other. This is because they both are from Allah and nothing that comes from Allah is ever met by contradiction or discrepancy. Allah said,
أَفَلاَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْءَانَ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ لَوَجَدُواْ فِيهِ اخْتِلَـفاً كَثِيراً
(Do they not then consider the Qur'an carefully Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein many a contradiction.) 4:82. Allah said in his Ayah 3:7,
وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلاَّ أُوْلُواْ الأَلْبَـبِ
(And none receive admonition except men of understanding. ) meaning, those who have good minds and sound comprehension, understand, contemplate and comprehend the meaning in the correct manner. Further, Ibn Al-Mundhir recorded in his Tafsir that Nafi` bin Yazid said, "Those firmly grounded in knowledge are those who are modest for Allah's sake, humbly seek His pleasure, and do not exaggerate regarding those above them, or belittle those below them.'' Allah said that they supplicate to their Lord,
رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا
(Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us.) meaning, "Do not deviate our hearts from the guidance after You allowed them to acquire it. Do not make us like those who have wickedness in their hearts, those who follow the Mutashabih in the Qur'an. Rather, make us remain firmly on Your straight path and true religion.''
وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ
(And grant us from Ladunka) meaning, from You,
(Mercy) with which You make our hearts firm, and increase in our Faith and certainty,
إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ
(Truly, You are the Bestower) Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir recorded that Umm Salamah said that the Prophet used to supplicate,
«يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِك»
(O You Who changes the hearts, make my heart firm on Your religion.) He then recited,
رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْ لَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ
("Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate (from the truth) after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from You. Truly, You are the Bestower.'') The Ayah continues,
رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ جَامِعُ النَّاسِ لِيَوْمٍ لاَّ رَيْبَ فِيهِ
("Our Lord! Verily, it is You Who will gather mankind together on the Day about which there is no doubt'') meaning, they say in their supplication: O our Lord! You will gather Your creation on the Day of Return, judge between them and decide over what they disputed about. Thereafter, You will reward or punish each according to the deeds they did in this life.

Ayat yang muhkamaat ialah ayat-ayat yang jelas maksudnya, dapat dipahami dengan mudah.
Yang dirujuk ketika terjadi kesamaran dan mengembalikan kepadanya paham yang menyelisihinya, atau maksudnya bisa juga "Yang dijadikan pegangan dalam hukum".
Termasuk dalam pengertian ayat-ayat mutasyaabihaat: ayat-ayat yang mengandung beberapa pengertian dan tidak dapat ditentukan arti mana yang dimaksud kecuali setelah diteliti secara mendalam atau dipadukan dengan ayat yang muhkamat; atau ayat-ayat yang pengertiannya hanya Allah yang mengetahui seperti ayat-ayat yang berhubungan dengan yang ghaib misalnya ayat-ayat mengenai hari kiamat, surga, neraka dan lain-lain. Ada pula yang menggolongan beberapa huruf di awal surat sebagai mutasyabihat, seperti alif laam miim, dsb. wallahu a'lam.
Orang-orang yang berpenyakit hati karena niatnya yang buruk berusaha mencari ayat-ayat yang mutasyabihat untuk menimbulkan syubhat di tengah manusia agar dapat menyesatkan mereka, di samping itu, mereka menta'wil ayat-ayat mutasyabihat untuk menguatkan pemahaman mereka yang batil.
Jumhur (mayoritas) mufassir mewaqfkan (memberhentikan) sampai ayat ini, namun yang lain menyambung dengan kata-kata "wa raasikhuunâ¦dst." Kedua-duanya masih mengandung kemungkinan benar, jika maksud "ta'wil" di sini adalah mengetahui hakikatnya, maka yang benar adalah waqf sampai "illallah", karena yang mengetahui hakikatnya adalah Allah saja. Misalnya hakikat sifat Allah, hakikat sifat-sifat yang terjadi pada hari akhir dsb. Hal ini, tidak ada yang mengetahuinya selain Allah, tidak boleh bagi seseorang memberanikan diri mengkaifiyatkannya. Oleh karena itu, Imam Malik rahimahullah pernah ditanya tentang firman Alllah "Ar Rahmaanu 'alal 'arsyis tawaa" (Allah bersemayam di atas 'Arsy) bagaimana bersemayam-Nya?" Maka ia menjawab, "Bersemayam adalah kata yang sudah diketahui, bagaimananya adalah majhul (tidak diketahui), mengimaninya wajib dan menanyakannya bid'ah." Demikianlah yang harus dikatakan dalam ayat-ayat sifat, yakni bahwa sifat tersebut diketahui, namun kaifiyatnya majhul. Orang-orang yang ilmunya mendalam, mengimaninya dan menyerahkan hakikatnya kepada Allah.
Oleh karena semua ayat tersebut berasal dari sisi Allah, maka tidak akan terjadi pertentangan, bahkan isinya sama, yang satu dengan yang lain saling membenarkan dan menguatkan.
Hanya orang-orang yang berakal saja yang dapat memahami dan mengerti maknanya secara benar.
