Re: Meaning of the quranic words
From what I’ve known, the Arabic language was at its peak at the time-frames during which the Surahs were revealed. These letters, such as “haa-meem” or “suaad”, etc. were just letters which bared no specific meaning. They were used just to make the Surahs look good/interesting., in the beginning. I think, in that era (of Arabic at its peak) these letters were attributed, by people, to work which was to be admired. Also, if you look closely, after every Surah which starts of with these such letters, the following words either glorify Allah, or the admire the Quran. Here are some examples:
“Haa-Meem.”
“Tanzeel-ul-kitaabi mina-Allahi Al-Aziz-al-Aleem”
40:1 Haa-Meem
40:2 The revelation of this Book is from Allah, Exalted in Power, Full of Knowledge
(Sura Ghafir)
2:1 “Alif-Laam-Meem”
2:2 “This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah.”
(Surah Al-Baqara)
20:1 “Ta-Ha”
20:2 “We have not sent down the Qur’an to thee to be (an occasion) for thy distress,”
20:3 “But only as an admonition to those who fear ((Allah)),”
(Surah Ta-Ha)
