And also, after stating the pillars of the belief in the unseen, the text moves on to tafsir (exegesis). Because this verse explicitly refers to the books and the Day of Judgment, and implicitly refers to the prophets and angels.
Here, the Glorious Qur'an chooses the expression "those who believe in the Qur'an" instead of the more general expressions such as "those who believe in the Qur'an" and "those who believe in what was revealed to you." This choice is made to embellish this context with a high point and subtlety.
1. The mentioned and ambiguous "those who" here indicates that the subject of the judgment and the essence of the purpose is the attribute of belief, and the other attributes are subordinate to and hidden under the attribute of belief.
2. Instead of the word "believers," which indicates belief in a single time, the verb form "they believe" is used, indicating that belief recurs as revelation and manifestation recur.
3. The use of the word "what," which indicates ambiguity, indicates that the general belief is sufficient and that belief includes both the internal revelations like hadith and the external revelations like the Qur'an.

In short: The second proof, the great book of the universe, in its composition and order, in its arrangement and authorship, shows with the brilliance of the sun that it is the work of an infinite power, an infinite knowledge, and an eternal will.
Q: With what is the perfect composition and order established?
A: The species of the five categories, which are like the limbs and joints of the human body, have discovered this order with perfect observation. Because, for each species, a science has either already formed or is capable of forming. Each science, according to the general calculation of the whole, shows the composition and order in its own species. Indeed, each science consists of general principles and rules. Therefore, if the individual's eye cannot encompass the order, through the joints of the sciences, he sees that the greater human is as harmonious as the lesser human. Each thing is placed according to wisdom. There is no uselessness or futility. Not only the organs and limbs, but perhaps all the cells, perhaps all the atoms, each being a reciting tongue of unity, participate in the loud echo of the great proof and recite "La ilaha illallah."
THIRD PROOF: The Quran. If you place your ear to the chest of this convincing proof, you will hear it repeating, "Allahu La Ilaha Illa Hu." Just as a tree cannot bear fruit if its root is not perfect or its root is corrupted, this proof of ours has so many and such true fruits of truth and reality on its branches that there is no doubt that the issue of unity in its root is a strong and correct truth and reality that leaves no room for imagination.

It is a joke from Sabri Efendi.
O Master! The Noble Book of Allah, the Almighty and the Bestower, by taking under its protective and nurturing wings the guardians of Islamic signs, has abandoned the plans of the deniers for a year in this incident, and has granted our three dear brothers apparent innocence and, in essence, has given them the insignia of innocence among millions of believing monotheists. It has clearly shown that the Book of Allah will always defend itself and protect and safeguard its servants, both in the past and in the future. Thus, the hearts of the guardians of the Qur'an, filled with joy and delight, have begun to take even greater steps toward their pure goals and have started to expand their circles more widely.
1. Praise be to Allah, this is the grace of my Lord.
O my noble master, the Almighty and Sublime One, out of His boundless mercy and infinite kindness and generosity, the Nurlar Collection has shown kindness to this poor servant and many others like him, just as continuous rains affect the earth, and has raised this helpless servant, who had sunk into the swamp of material life in this age of ignorance and deviation, from the valley of darkness, teaching him the lesson that "no matter which way you turn, it is a loss," and has nurtured him in the light of the Sun.
Well then, a year ago, it was said, "O Sabri! Perhaps you are inclined toward love and the world; perhaps it may awaken a desire in that direction. Come, dive once more into the murky pool of those wretched people and come out." Praise be to Allah, I emerged safely. In my humble opinion, this escape is a very significant deliverance.
Your student,
Sabri

For a long time, I have been very eager to read this Twenty-Eighth luminous treatise, in which every word is a repository of diamonds, and I have succeeded in reading and understanding it. If it were possible, without exaggeration, to express the degree of its value, desirability, and importance, I would have tried to compose many words to adequately convey the infinite truths of this precious treatise, so that the truth could be properly expressed. For the Almighty Creator, in creating and fashioning these beings and assigning each one a specific duty, and in the realization of the world's destiny, has honored those who understand and recognize their helplessness, poverty, weakness, and need in this world, and who adhere to the eternal laws and divine decrees, with a blessing like Paradise. And in Paradise, the greatest blessing is the observation and highest admiration of the perfect beauty of the Divine. Since everything in this transient world is, by nature, in awe and longing for Paradise, and since the source of these truths is the Clear Criterion (Furqan) and the Glorious Qur'an, whose numerous chapters and diverse mysteries are not easily accessible to all, and since diving into the ocean of truths is not possible for everyone, the fact that these five questions and five answers, as the true key, open the doors to these varied treasures and reveal them in great detail and with utmost clarity, is not only beyond the limited understanding of this humble servant, but perhaps even beyond the capacity of those with very high intellects. I firmly believe this to be true.

It is a story by Osman Nuri.
The Qur'an al-Azim;
If I were to read a single word of it a million times,
I would always taste the same initial delight.
You are the eternal flame of the Islamic hearth,
You are the unique speech of the incomparable Being.
You are the speech of the precious thousand proofs granted to the beloved Prophet of your Lord.
What other book is read with such respect for centuries?
What ungrateful person is there who would dare to touch it?
God forbid! Even if those who disbelieve in you are liars,
Let them sit next to the seller of that book.
After buying the book from that seller,
They curse and deny the Qur'an they have rejected.
You are the deepest teacher of knowledge, the proof,
You disgrace those who do not recognize you in your presence.
The holy book, the famous one, and its seller, my master Said,
The heart desires that there be thousands of Saids who can reach that level.
This arose from the luminous divine inspiration I received from the holy and sacred book of our great Qur'an al-Azim, which I read on the morning of that day, and from the deep feelings and powerful impressions, like the sun, left by your elevated treatises.
Osman Nuri
