The Art of Reduction in the Holy Quran مقاله

He considers the Surahs that follow a Surah containing abbreviated letters to be subordinate to it; for example, from Surah An-Nisa to Al-A'raf, he considers the Surahs to be subordinate to Alif Lam Mim of Al Imran and the key phrase "I am Allah, the Knower," and views them from various angles of God's knowledge. The late Majlisi, in chapter 721 of Bihar al-Anwar, "Mutashabihat al-Quran and Tafsir al-Muqatta'at," has quoted a valuable narration from Sufyan al-Thawri from Imam Sadiq, peace be upon him, in which he inquired about the meaning of these letters, and the Imam, peace be upon him, says: But "Alif Lam Mim" at the beginning of Al-Baqarah means I am Allah the King, and "Alif Lam Mim" at the beginning of Al Imran means I am Allah the Glorious, and "Alif Lam Mim Sad" means I am Allah the Powerful, the Truthful, and "Alif Lam Ra" means I am Allah the Compassionate, and "Alif Lam Mim Ra" means I am Allah the Giver of Life, the Bringer of Death, the Provider, and "Kaf Ha Ya 'Ayn Sad" means I am the Sufficient, the Guide, the Ally, the Knower, the Truthful in Promise, and as for "Ta Ha," it is a name from the names of the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family, and its meaning is O seeker of truth, the guide to it; what was revealed to you of the Quran is not that you should suffer, but rather that you may be blessed by it. Here it must be said that the inner meanings of these letters are not always the same; for example, it has been narrated from Imam Baqir, peace be upon him, that "Nun" is one of the names of the Prophet, peace be upon him and his family (Bihar, 61/69 and 83/25).
