The issue mentioned — reading a word from its end to its beginning as it is read from its beginning — is permissible if it is in the context of explaining the Quranic inimitability (i'jaz) or for riddles. Al-Suyuti mentioned this type in "Al-Itqan" under the heading "Al-Qalb wal-Maqlub al-Mustawi" (Reversed and Symmetrical Reversed), and he gave examples from the Almighty’s saying: "كل في فلك" (all in an orbit) and "وربك فكبر" (and glorify your Lord), stating that these are the only two in the Quran.
