MUQATTA'AT

MUQATTA'AT:
The Secret Revelations

Muqatta'at (Arabic: مقطعات‎) are unique letter combinations that appear in the beginning of 29 suras (chapters) of the Qur'an. Muqatta'at literally means abbreviated or shortened. Their meanings remain unclear and are considered by most Muslims to be divine secrets.

They are all fawātih (فواتح) or "openers" as they form the opening verse of their respective suras. Other names include the broken, dis-joined,initial, or isolated letters of the Qur'an.

Of the 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet, exactly one half appear as muqatta'at, either singly or in combinations of two, three, four or five letters. The fourteen (1⃣4⃣) letters are: أ ح ر س ص ط ع ق ك ل م ن هـ ي (alif, ha, ra, sin, sad, ta, ain, qaf, kaf, lam, mim, nun, hha, ya).

Muqatta'at can be found in the following combination:


الم  ALif Lam Meem,
المر  ALif Lam Meem Ra,
المص  Alif Lam Meem Sad,
الر  Alif Lam Ra,
حم  Ha Meem,
حم  Ha Meem Ayn Sin Qaf,
كهيعص  Kaf Haa Ya Ayn Sad,
يس  Ya Seen,
طه  Ta Haa,
طس  Ta Seen,
طسم  Ta Seen Meem,
 ص Sad
ق Qaf
ن  Noon.

1⃣4⃣ letters make the muqatta'at and their combinations are also 1⃣4⃣, as they appear in the opening of 29 suwar which is approximately 1⃣/4⃣ (¼) of the Qur'anic chapters.

Scholars have given many opinions on the muqatta'at; meanwhile below are some formation made from its 1⃣4⃣ letters:

📝 Some one has coined a phrase by joining these words:
سر لحكيم نصه قطعا
"A secret of a sage who explained it in piecemeal."

This phrase can be considered as a key to the fawatih of the Qur'an.

 📝 Another scholar formed the following phrase:
صح طريقك مع السنة
"Follow the path of Sunnah.”
