Concealed meanings? Abdullah. Quran is for humans and humanity ..... there is no reason for it to carry concealed meanings. Holy Quran is clear for anyone who wishes to and complicated for anyone who wishes to. I don't know why Muslims of today wish so much complication and don't use their brains.
.
He it is who has bestowed upon thee from on high this divine writ, containing messages that are clear in and by themselves - and these are the essence of the divine writ - as well as others that are allegorical. Now those whose hearts are given to swerving from the truth go after that part of the divine writ which has been expressed in allegory, seeking out [what is bound to create] confusion, and seeking [to arrive at] its final meaning [in an arbitrary manner]; but none save God knows its final meaning. Hence, those who are deeply rooted in knowledge say: "We believe in it; the whole [of the divine writ] is from our Sustainer - albeit none takes this to heart save those who are endowed with insight (The Noble Qur'an 3:7)
Those who claim (based on secondary sources) that certain allegorical verses regarding end-times essentially refer to the Second coming of Jesus when the Qur'an itself doesn't say so clearly and categorically, seek discord and spread confusion as they claim to know the final mening of something Allah says only he has the final knwoledge about them.
