The Department of Creed and Islamic Thought at the College of Islamic Sciences, University of Samarra, held a scientific course titled “Interpreting Verbal Ambiguities in the Holy Qur’an,” presented by Assistant Professor Dr. Sadiq Bakr Mahmoud.
The course aimed to clarify that the Holy Qur’an—an everlasting literary miracle in the Arabic language—astonished people from the moment it appeared, and rightly so, for there is nothing like it in the heritage of earlier or later generations.
This course came as an attempt to examine the verses and words that appear similar yet differ in certain letters, in order to uncover the secret behind their repetition and variation. Mahmoud intended, through the concept of “interpretation” here, to explain the text in a way that removes ambiguity.
