“We recite to you some of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in truth, for a people who believe.”

Perhaps this is for the same reason that immediately, after these abbreviated letters, it refers to the greatness of the Qur’an and implies that these great verses are the verses of the Book manifest, the Book which is clear itself and makes clear the man’s way of happiness both. This is the ultimate greatness of the Qur’an that it produces such an extraordinary important product from such simple materials which every body possesses. Mim., in the Qur’an are some abbreviation signs of the attributes of Allah or sacred places, but this does not hinder the famous commentary, which we have repeatedly emphasized on, that Allah desires to make clear this fact to all that this great Heavenly Book which is the source of a great revolution in the history of man and contains the complete program of the happy life of humankind, has been formed of a simple means such as alphabetical letters which everybody can pronounce.

Moreover, there are a lot of traditions which indicate that the letters Ta. Mim., in particular, is for the third and the last time that has been mentioned in the Qur’an.Īs we have cited repeatedly, the Abbreviated letters of the Qur’an have different interpretations which we have referred to at the beginning of Suras of Al-Baqarah, ’Al-i-‘Imran, and Al-’A‘raf. This is the fourteenth Surah of the Qur’an which begins with ‘the abbreviated letter’, and the form Ta. If you think that it is the word of a human, you may bring the like of it, too. The Qur’an, the eternal miracle of Islam, has been formed of these very Arabic letters. “There are verses of the Book (that makes the truth) clear.”ģ. In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The MercifulĢ.
