: From the posted fragment, the word seems a superfluous one. It is sometimes admissible to omit superfluous words in translation, depending on its purpose. To rule out having a substantive meaning, the asker is advised to examine the text carefully.

gist or substance
Actually the word is the combination of the quisitive ما هي, or what is, but the implication attempts to define the core or substance of the meanings of the Qur'an. This is in addition to some of the other suggestions, which are also plausible.
