  • ALM Alif Lam Meem, What does it mean?

    Googling it has not answered my question, anyone here have an answer?
    There are people today who think that admitting God’s absolute greatness decreases the value and importance of humans in the creation, as if God and mankind are rivals competing in greatness and power. Meanwhile I feel that whenever our perception of God’s greatness increases, with it we become greater, because we are the creation of a great God.

      Some words in the Quran we have no knowledge of like Alif laam Meem or Ya-sin Only Allah knows the meaning.
      I believe the sun should never set upon an argument.
      I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness.

        there is nothing mentioned prior to it so you have to focus on what comes next to it. and what comes next to it is obviously describing the quran.

            The Alif Lam Meem has no translation, the translation starts from the second sentence.
            I believe the sun should never set upon an argument.

              DZJ I noticed that these letters and other single letters start off many surahs in the Quran and most of the time the next verse is describing what the Quran is.

              “Alîf Lâm Mîm... This is the Book in which there is no doubt.” [Sûrah al-Baqarah: 1-2]

              “Alîf Lâm Mîm... Allah! There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-Subsisting, Eternal. It is He Who sent down to thee, in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and wrong).” [Sûrah Âl `Imrân: 1-3]

              “Alîf Lâm Mîm Sâd... A Book revealed unto thee,- So let thy heart be oppressed no more by any difficulty on that account,- that with it thou might warn (the erring) and teach the believers. [Sûrah al-A`râf: 1-2]

              “Alîf Lâm Râ... These are the verses of the Book of Wisdom.” [Sûrah Yûnus: 1]

              “Alîf Lâm Râ... (This is) a Book, whose verses are made decisive, then are they made plain, from the Wise, All-aware.” [Sûrah Hûd: 1]

              “Alîf Lâm Râ... These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) manifest.” [Sûrah Yûsuf: 1]

              “Alîf Lâm Mîm Râ... These are the verses of the Book; and that which is revealed to you from your Lord is the truth, but most people do not believe.” [Sûrah al-Ra`d: 1]

              “Alîf Lâm Râ... A Book which We have revealed unto thee, in order that you might lead mankind out of the depths of darkness into light - by the leave of their Lord - to the Way of (Him) the Exalted in power, worthy of all praise!” [Sûrah Ibrâhîm: 1]

              “Alîf Lâm Râ... These are the verses of the Book and (of) a Quran that makes (things) clear.” [Sûrah al-Hijr: 1]

              “Kâf Hâ Yâ `Ayn Sâd... (This is) a recital of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zachariah.” [Sûrah Maryam 1-2]

              “Tâ Hâ...We have not sent down the Qur'an to thee to be (an occasion) for thy distress, but only as an admonition to those who fear (Allah) – a revelation from Him Who created the earth and the heavens on high.” [Sûrah Tâ Hâ: 1-4]

              “Tâ Sîn Mîm... These are verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.” [Sûrah al-Shu`arâ’: 1-2]

              “Tâ Sîn Mîm... These are Verses of the Book that makes (things) clear. [Sûrah al-Qasas: 1-2]
