Abstract:
The research dealt with the types and styles that are the principle of some problems at all levels, starting with the verses of Surat Al-Kahf, which apparently and seemingly contradict with other verses, in addition to the relationship between some noble hadiths and some Qur’anic verses that may clash at first sight, through the linguistic ambiguity and complications that has been presented by some disbelievers, agnostic and the atheists of current era. However, they forget that the Noble Qur’an was revealed by Allah Almighty in eloquent Arabic language to the masters of eloquence, rhetoric and fluency, and they didn’t find or were eager to find any such ambiguity in this Holy Book. Therefore, this does not touched their hearts and they believed on this literary divine piece of literature without any suspicion and made endeavors in preserving and protecting it as it was revealed on the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). The researcher has presented the applied examples of Surah Al- Kahf and described the stance and position of Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen about the problems and contradictions and the reasons behind this. The research finally discusses his methodology and approach in solving the said problem. In this article, analytical and descriptive methodology has been used.

The research discusses how Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen tackles apparent contradictions by considering linguistic nuances, context, and the overall message of the Qur'an. It argues that apparent conflicts often arise from misinterpretations or a lack of deep understanding, which scholars like Al-Uthaymeen effectively address through rigorous interpretive methods.
The study identifies apparent contradictions in Surah Al-Kahf and between Hadith and Qur'anic verses. It highlights Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen's approach to resolving these issues, emphasizing the eloquence of the Arabic language in which the Qur'an was revealed and the lack of genuine ambiguity found by early scholars.
Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen's approach to resolving Qur'anic contradictions is systematic and rooted in a deep understanding of Arabic language and Islamic jurisprudence. His methodology provides a framework for addressing challenges to the Qur'an, reinforcing its integrity and divine origin.
