The question of the meaning of the mysterious letters in the Quran – known in Arabic as the muqatta'at – has both intrigued and frustrated Muslims since the time of the revelation over 1,400 years ago.
Many theories have been advanced as to the meaning of the muqatta'at – or mysterious letters – none of them convincing. In the final analysis, the truth is that, so far, no-one has understood what these letters mean. There is no shame in not knowing, if one admits as much.
This presentation provides a fully cogent, logical and demonstrable explanation of the muqatta'at – or mysterious letters – in the Quran.
You may find the entire presentation in written form at Article XX in the Appendix to THE QUR'AN: A COMPLETE REVELATION which – as ever – may be downloaded free or purchased in hardback at the links below.
Article XX in the Appendix of THE QUR'AN: A COMPLETE REVELATION also contains within its own appendix:
– a summary of those theories of the mysterious letters in the Quran extant prior to these findings
– a full summary on the case of kitāb at 27:1
Existing theories and the case of kitāb at 27:1 are touched on here, but a full discussion of them would distract from the thrust of this presentation.
The full notes on 27:1 – and why kitāb there is in the nominative –may be read also as a separate article:

NOTE: This is materially the same presentation as found in that series of six videos on the muquatta'at I released last year, but with a small number of minor improvements. I have revamped the whole presentation, and – I hope – explained the subject better here.
