Many Quran scholars have long been fascinated by the An-Nur verse. Despite the absolute denial of any similarity between his holy nature and the rest of the cosmos, this monotheistic verse contains metaphorical language. Most Qur'anic interpretations have focused on the idea that there are outside and inner meanings and each interpretation has sought to decipher the meaning of this verse using one of these two ideas. This descriptive-analytical study explores and compares the interpretation of the An-Nur verse by Sharif al-Murtaza, Mulla Sadra, and Sultan Muhammad Sultan Ali Shah Gunabadi with their interpretations. The verse's meaning has been interpreted differently by these interpreters, who have divergent and, at times, contradictory intellectual orientations. Even though all three of them deviate from the apparent meaning, Sharif al-Murtaza interprets the verse by placing the concept of reasonable arguments within the field of the Arabic language and its capacities because the holy word is a type of speech. Mulla Sadra and Gunabadi, on the other hand, are proponents of the inner meaning of the verses and view the Qur'an as a mystical word with a high meaning potential that requires revelation and spiritual internalization to comprehend. The conventional definition of Sharif al-Murtaza's work is a commentary built on logic and language that benefits from his knowledge of both languages and words. Nevertheless, according to Mulla Sadra and Gunabadi, this attempt to comprehend the meaning is more interpretation in applying the verse to multiple and even endless cases.

Each text has a style and can be examined. The Qur'an, as a divine and glorious text, can be studied and analyzed from various aspects, especially stylistics. Therefore, in this article, a descriptive-analytical method has been tried to analyze the phonetic, lexical, and syntactic structure of Surah Al-Balad based on stylistic principles. At the phonetic level, this surah has a kind of musical harmony and balance that is completely in line with the meaning and concept of the surah. This proportion, even in the choice of words and their specific structure, as well as in the use of special syntactic structures, expresses the worldview of its creator, that all these levels flow in a space of multiple meanings, as the beginning of the surah confirms. The ambiguity in words such as "father, son, and najdin" has caused different views in this surah, which can be partially analyzed and interpreted in connection with the general structure of the surah. On the other hand, lexical structure indicates the weight of "Mafalaton" in line with the certainty of meaning, emphasis, and exaggeration. Such choices, from the very beginning and with a special style, makes the audience think and think which in fact deepens and emphasizes the style of this surah indirectly and secretly by using the initial and different structure (La Oqsmo/ I do swear) and lexical ambiguity and expresses the miracle of the Qur'an.
