already been stated that Allah Most High has described the Quran as guidance, clarification, and that which makes things clear, among other descriptions. This indicates that it contains none of what he has classified as ambiguous: indeterminate expressions, expressions with multiple meanings, and expressions interpreted contrary to their apparent meaning. This differs from an indeterminate expression that indicates the general nature of a ruling without specifying its extent or characteristics. Such an expression indicates what is intended by it and thus provides guidance and clarification concerning it. There are, however, other matters that it does not indicate, and not every expression indicates everything. By contrast, an expression with multiple meanings that does not indicate the intended meaning provides neither guidance nor clarification.

What has been stated shows that the Quran contains no expression admitting two equally possible meanings without its intended meaning being clarified, nor any expression whose intended meaning is the less likely possibility without that meaning being clarified. Rather, it must be accompanied by something that clarifies the intended meaning. The intended meaning then becomes what the wording, together with that contextual indication, conveys. It is therefore no longer the less likely meaning, but either the apparent meaning or one known with certainty.
