Re: Muqatta’at: Cracking the Code
I hope you are not associating that to me. At no point have I made this claim… I said “It is likely that as Islamic teachings have moved from the hands of the Umayyads to the Abbasids, the meanings of these constructs of speech started fading away, and under Persian influences, their meanings seem to have been lost almost completely.”
Which is why we do not see in any of the accounts about kuffar in the exalted prophet’s (SW) time raising the question “What are these letters??” … there is a good possibility they knew full well the meaning or use of such letters.
