Further, it is necessary to note that one of the miracles of the Wise Quraan is that it contains the quintessence of previous heavenly Books. Thus, you should study the Qur'an with the understanding that it contains everything and make a profound endeavour to touch it in the Hidden Book (56:77-79).

Thus the ultimate purpose of all worship and practices is that mu’mins should attain the hidden treasure as a result of the recognition of tawhid (macrifat-i tawhid).
