About one-quarter of the Quranic Surahs are preceded by mysterious letter-symbols called muqatta'at – disjointed letters or, occasionally, Fawatih – openings because they appear at the beginning of the relevant Surahs.
It is related that Abu Bakr as-Siddiq said:
في كل كتاب سر، وسره في القرآن فواتح القرآن

Al-Hasan said, " The Quran has knowledge of everything
and the knowledge of the Quran is in the Huroof
