Help to understand verse

Salam,

37
He has sent down this Book which contains some verses that are categorical and basic to the Book, and others allegorical. But those who are twisted of mind look for verses metaphorical, seeking deviation and giving to them interpretations of their own; but none knows their meaning except God; and those who are steeped in knowledge affirm "We believe in them as all of them are from the Lord." But only those who have wisdom understand.

5417
Easy have We made the Qur?an to understand So is there any one who will be warned?

Verse 37 says none knows some verses of Quran meaning except God but verse 5417 says Qurar is easy to understand.

Peace be with you as well.

37 is talking about the clear verses which are The foundation of the Quran.
There are also, the "look-alike verses" of the Quran which are kind of Ambiguous, and it is these that God Almighty knows their exact true meaning.
An example is the "cut the hands". Is it Cut metaphorically 538 or physically marking 1231 or amputating the whole hand 7124?).
Surely, All of these examples, the word used is "cut", however, we see a range of meaning form metaphorical to Physical. These verses would all be "look-alike" verses, and somewhat ambiguous if one doesn't study the Quran, and look at the uses and deeper meaning of Cut and the Hands

Good point. Jizya also is another example and ma malakat aymanukum. The verse talked about also tells us that those who have a sickness in them will use thses type of verses to spin their meanings and try to pass their own agendas. Its important we formulate our understanding by looking at the explicit clear meaning verses and take the Quran as a whole and use the explicit verses to interpret the ambiguous verses.

Amputation can violate the hand for a hand law of the Quran since any punishment must be proportional to the crime commited and we are ordered to judge by equity and not to respond with excess. Often the Sects will chase after and spin these ambiguous verses and abrogate the explicit verses to alter the meaning of the Quran and its intended message. Abrogation is one way these Sects managed to alter the teachings of the Quran. Just like God inflicts upon us good and bad to see how we will respond, the Quran has explicit and implicit verses to see how we will respond.
