S26:195 is clear Arabic versus S3:7 with allegorical verses

In the Qur’an it is stated that the language is clear –

S26:195 In a clear Arabic language.

While the verse below says there are allegorical verses which no one know the meaning except Allah –

S3:7 He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or fundamental of established meaning; they are the foundation of the Book: others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: “We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:” and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding.

It is not an issue in the Quran as the command is to avoid the verses which are allegorical.

There are 30 verses which are allegorical with Arabic letters attached in it. And these letters are the ones only Allah know its hidden meaning.

Two of it examples –

S30:1 Alif lam Mim (الم)
S42:1-2 Ha-Mim (حم). Ain. Sin. Qaf (عسق)

It has been clearly pointed out there are the
verses basic or fundamental of established meaning; they are the foundation of the Book which should be the readers’s focus.

Since Allah had warned not to dwell in these allegorical verses only perverts will dwell in these verses to speculate on the meaning of the Arabic letters!

There are four verses being repeated in the same surah the Qur’an is made easy to remember in Arabic –

S54:17; 22; 32 & 40: And We have certainly made the Qur’an easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember?

S39:28 A Qur’an in Arabic, without any crookedness therein: in order that they may guard against Evil.

S41:44 And if We had made it a non-Arabic Qur’an, they would have said, “Why are its verses not explained in detail [in our language]? Is it a foreign [recitation] and an Arab [messenger]?” Say, “It is, for those who believe, a guidance and cure.” And those who do not believe in their ears is deafness, and it is upon them blindness. Those are being called from a distant place.

S14:4 We sent not a messenger except in the language of his people, in order to make clear to them. Now Allah leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom.

S44:58 We made it easy in your language, so that they may remember.

S34:28 We have not sent thee but as a universal Messenger to men, giving them glad tidings, and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not.
