The “Alif” as well is not contacted by the other letters whereas it is contacted by the other letters, and is cut off from the others. والله تعالى باين بجميع صفاته من خلقه، ومعناه ” من الالفة ” فكما ان الله عزوجل سبب الفة الخلق فكذلك الالف عليه تألفت الحروف وهو سبب الفتها The “Different” – Allah -azwj is at variance by the entirety of His -azwj Attributes from His -azwj creatures, and its meaning is, ‘from the affinity’.
So, just as Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic is the Cause of the affinity of the creatures, similar to that is the ‘Alif’, upon it is the affinity of the letters, and it is the cause of the familiarity (joining of the letters).
You -saww are saying it’. So Allah -azwj Said: Alif Lam Meem ‘ [2:1] That is the Book [2:2] – i.e., “O Muhammad -saww ! This Book which I -saww Revealed unto you -saww , it has abbreviated letters, from which are: – Alif Lam Meem [2:1] , and it is your own language and letters of your alphabet, therefore come with the like of it if you are truthful, and seek assistance upon that with the rest of your witnesses”.
