Muhkam and Mutashabih (Arabic: محکم و متشابه) are Arabic language words that have been used in the Quran. Muhkam can be translated as "decisive"; Mutashabih as "allegorical".
Commentary
It was reported from ʿAlī that he stated, ‘[Those rooted in knowledge] are the ones whom knowledge has protected from plunging [into the interpretation of the Qurʾān] according to some whim (hawā) or with set arguments (ḥujaj maḍrūba) without [awareness of] the unseen [mysteries] (ghuyūb).’
