The author while referring to the layers of ontology and epistemology of the Quran, explains in detail the epistemic layers of the Qur'an, and in addition to distinguishing between understanding the Qur'an and benefiting from the guidance of the Qur'an, addressing the special target groups of the Qur'an's epistemic layers, as well as their levels of knowledge and the extent of their benefit from the Qur'anic truths and its guidance; and the methods of achieving that knowledge have been stated. This is done through the classification of verses and the examination of their apparent meanings and interpretations.
