[7] He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book; in it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are not of well-established meaning. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is not of well-established meaning. Seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its true meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:" and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding. (Quran 3:7)
After this verse was recited by Prophet Mohammed, he said, if you saw those who argue in it "Quran" so be aware of them for they are those whom Allah described in this verse. That's why our beloved Prophet mentioned in another hadith that this Ummah will be divided into 73 sect and only one will go to heaven, and when his companions asked him which one?
The answer was, those who are in the same path as Prophet Mohammed and his companions.
Also, prophet Mohammed mentioned in one of the hadiths that there will be some people in his Ummah who read the Quran, break it, and divide the word of God into many peicies to lose it's meaning, to redefine it's original meaning and twist it from it's true meaning.
That's why Allah said:
but no one knows its true meanings except Allah.
That's why we just have to follow what Prophet Mohammed taught us and follow his great companions after him as he commanded us.
Ibn Abbas (the cousin of prophet Mohammed) said, the Tafseer is divided into 4 categories:
1- A Tafseer which everybody can grasp.
2- A Tafseer which only the Arabian tribes understand from their own languages.
3- A Tafseer which only those who are firmly grounded in knowledge (mentioned in the verse above) can grasp and fully understand.
4- A Tafseer which no one knows about except Allah almighty. (end of the tasfeer)
Translated from Tafseer of Ibn Katheer in the link below:

That's why brothers and sisters, what we see from arguing about the word of God and disputing in it's meaning is not healthy at all and it won't lead us to any solid clear way but it will just increase the conflict because we are arguing without knowledge, because this is the word of Allah and he only can explain for us it's true meaning, and if really there was no need for Prophet Mohammed to explain and teach us the word of Allah, then God would simply send a flying book from heaven and all can understand it in his/her way.
We have to understand that following our own desires and what Saytan whisper in our ears and push into our hearts is so dangerous and it might lead to disbelief.
[27] O ye Children of Adam! let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as he got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the Evil Ones friends (only) to those without Faith. (Quran 7:27)
That's why, we just have to follow what Prophet Mohammed taught us and follow his last words to us O Muslims...
"Reason well, therefore, O People, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and my example, the Sunnah and if you follow these you will never go astray.
All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listen to me directly. Be my witness, O God, that I have conveyed your message to your people".(End of the hadith)
Alhamdulilah, Allah blessed our Ummah with this great prophet of Allah, the final messenger.
O Prophet of Allah, i have conveyed your message.
