“The revelation of the Book, there is no doubt in it, is from the Lord of the Worlds.” We have explained in detail about the abbreviated letters of the Qur’an at the beginning of Surah Al-Baqarah, but according to some Islamic traditions the abbreviated letters are among allegorical ambiguous verses the knowledge of which is with Allah (s.w.t.) and His saints.[^1] Question: Regarding to the doubt, false allegation, and calumny that the opponents of the Qur’an used to announce and some verses refer to them, too, how does this verses say: “…there is no doubt in it…”?

Answer: The verse implies that there is no doubt in the legitimacy of the Qur’an and its commandments and gnostic knowledge, not that no one has doubted in it; so, in Surah Al-Baqarah, No. 2, verse 23 the Qur’an says: “And if you are in doubt of what We have sent down to Our (faithful) servant (Muhammad), then bring forth one Surah the like thereof…”.

The writer of the Fi-Zilal-il-Qur’an says: “An artificial flower is not the same as a natural flower, because a natural flower itself stands witness, that there is no doubt in its being natural.” The Qur’an has been sent down from the side of Allah and this fact has repeatedly been emphasized in it.

The following examples are among them: “The revelation of the Book…is from the Lord of the Worlds.” [^2] “And verily this (Qur’an) is from the Lord of the Worlds.” [^3] “A revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful.” [^4] “The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise.” [^5] “The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Mighty, the Knowing.” [^6] “A revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful (Allah).” [^7] “…A revelation from the Wise, the Praised (One).” [^8] “It has been sent down from Him Who created the earth and the high heavens.” [^9] Yes, The One Who has sent down the Qur’an possesses everything of the existence, and dominates over all things.

He is Mighty, Merciful, Wise, Knowing, and Praised.
