and Faith in its clear Decisive verses is a fifth door among its doors; submission to its Ambiguous verses, the knowledge of which Allah has reserved for Himself and withheld from His creation, and affirming that all of it is from his Lord, is a sixth door among its doors; and taking lesson from its parables and taking heed from its admonitions is a seventh door among its doors.

So everything in the Qur'an—of its seven modes (ahruf) and its seven doors from which it was revealed—Allah made a guide for His servants to His pleasure, and a leader for them to Paradise. That is the meaning of his statement, peace and blessings of God be upon him: "The Qur'an was revealed from seven doors of Paradise."

As for his statement, peace and blessings of God be upon him, regarding the Qur'an: "Indeed, for every mode (harf) of it there is Al-Ḥadd," it means (1) for every aspect of its seven aspects there is a limit that Allah, majestic is His praise, set, which no one is permitted to exceed.

And his statement, peace and blessings of God be upon him: "And indeed for every mode (harf) of them there is an outer aspect and an inner aspect," its outer aspect is what is apparent in recitation, and its inner aspect is what is hidden of its Interpretation (2).

And his statement: "And indeed for every limit of that there is an outlook (maṭlaʿ)," he means that for every limit among the limits of Allah that He set in it—of the lawful and the Prohibited, and the rest of His laws—there is a measure of Allah's Reward and Punishment that one will witness in the Hereafter, oversee, and encounter on the Resurrection. As ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb, May God be pleased with him, said: "If I possessed all the gold and silver on earth, I would ransom myself with it from the terror of the outlook (maṭlaʿ)," meaning by that what he would oversee and confront of Allah's command after his death.
