In verse 44 of Surah An-Nahl, God has entrusted the Prophet (PBUH) with the responsibility of explaining the verses of the Quran. Explaining and interpreting the verses of the Quran are different. The Prophet (PBUH) is both the explainer of the Quran and its interpreter. Accordingly, the main question of this research is what is meant by explaining the verses of the Quran in verse 44 of Surah An-Nahl? This research was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method and library resources. Its aim is to examine the significance of the meaning of explanation in verse 44 of Surah An-Nahl. The most important results of this research are that just as the words of the verses of the Holy Quran were revealed to the Prophet (PBUH), the meanings and concepts of the verses of the Holy Quran were also revealed to him, and he taught both the words and meanings of the verses to his companions. According to verse 44 of Surah An-Nahl, explaining the verses of the Quran, which is the duty of the Prophet (PBUH), was revealed to him. After the death of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), the Commander of the Faithful (PBUH) collected them all in a manuscript that is known by his own name. Therefore, the explanation in this verse is intended to teach the concepts and meanings of the verses of the Quran, which are of a revelation nature.
