Some of the matters or points covered:

• Continuation of Principle/Rule 5).
• Addressing misconception that the verses about the attributes of Allāh are from the ambiguous verses.
• Further elaboration regarding three ways in which the Qur’ān has described the whole of the Qur’ān, some of which includes:
  1) Muhkam – All of the Qur’ān is most excellent of speech, discourse, eloquence and beauty in its khabar (reports). For ahkām (rulings) in Sharee’ah (law), it’s the most excellent type of justice, direction and guidance.
  2) Mutashābih – Qur’ān in its language and beauty resembles other parts, it’s coherent and congruent, no conflicts in reports e.g. story of Musa (عليه السلام) mentioned in different parts, all support each other with more details in some parts than others.
  3) Muhkam and Mutashābih – This is where issue and detail lies. Muhkam – clear and apparent verses, whether reports or rulings. This forms majority of Qur’ān and most of the common people understand this. Mutashābih – meaning is hidden to some people, verse itself is not Mutashābih, it’s the fact that some people from Muslim Ummah don’t know for whatever reason (four reasons mentioned).
• Two categories people fall into.
• How someone can follow the Mutashābih in order to create controversy, confusion and doubts in the hearts of people to misguide them. They presume wrong things about 1) Allāh, 2) His Book and 3) His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم). Example ayāt provided including clarification regarding use of plural “We” in Qur’ān.
• The actual wisdom behind some of the verses being Mutashābih.
