S 3:7 He is the one who sent down upon you the book; of it are muhkamat verses. They are the mother of the book and others are mutashabihat. As for those in whose hearts is aberration, they follow what he copied from it, seeking fitnah and seeking its interpretation. And none knows its interpretation but Allah. And the firm in knowledge say: We have believed in it. All is from our lord. And none remembers except the possessors of albab.
Does an author interpret his own work? Or might one interpret and make sense of someone else's work?
S 69:40 It is a noble messenger’s speech.
S 81:19 It is the speech of a noble messenger,
If these passages are saying that the Quran is a messenger's speech then is Allah the only one that can make sense of this anonymous author's work?
