Summary of question

The Quran says, "We have revealed the clear Book." What is meant by clear? Why does God say that He sent down a book after He sent it down?

question

God says in Sura Al-Maedah verse 15 "There has come to you light and a clear Book from Allah". Do we have an unclear book also? What does "clear" mean in this particular verse? Why does God say that He sent down a book after He sent it down? Is it not explaining something which is already clear?
