Is it possible for the meaning of the word "يَيْأَسِ" in the noble verse {أَفَلَمْ يَيْأَسِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ لَوْ يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ لَهَدَى النَّاسَ جَمِيعًا} to be "يأنس" meaning "to know" or "to recognize"?

The Answer: Firstly: The interpretation of the noble verse: "Has it not become clear to those who believed that, had Allah willed, He could have guided all mankind?"

1. The apodosis (answer to the condition) of "had" (لو) is omitted and is estimated to be "this Qur'an would have been [sufficient]" or "you would have disbelieved in the Most Merciful." 2. The meaning of "has it not become clear" (أفلم ييأس) here is "has it not become known," which is a well-known usage in the Arabic language, and there is no corruption or alteration in it. It has appeared in Arab poetry.

Secondly: Warning against pursuing ambiguities (Shubuhat). The claim of word alteration is an assertion made by an atheist that has been refuted by scholars. The Qur'an is preserved from any alteration. Pursuing and reading ambiguities is a dangerous matter that is feared for those who engage in it. One should instead occupy oneself with beneficial knowledge, for hearts are weak and ambiguities are snatching. The Qur'an is preserved by Allah the Almighty's preservation, and no human can diminish it.
