The inherent complexity of Qur’anic language, particularly in verses such as the Verse of Light (Āyat al‑Nūr), calls for careful methodological frameworks and hermeneutic approaches. This complexity has led to diverse interpretations and highlights the need to understand both the linguistic and the supra‑conventional dimensions of the Qur’an’s language. The central question of this study is what approaches and interpretations Qur’anic exegetes have proposed in their discussions of the Verse of Light in order to reach a deeper understanding of the divine intent. The study shows that the Verse of Light, through its composite linguistic structure (conventional and supra‑conventional), contributes to establishing a profound relationship between human beings and God, and that its analysis requires a multidimensional perspective that avoids reductive readings. In fact, the language of the Qur’an is dynamic and multilayered; it is not confined to any particular linguistic style or fixed formal pattern, but rather reflects the themes, aims, and worldview of the Qur’an and is formed through the integration of diverse linguistic modes. The findings further indicate that the linguistic structure of the Verse of Light, through the use of parable and figurative expression, conveys profound concepts such as divine guidance. However, grasping its deeper layers requires hermeneutic approaches that move beyond ordinary linguistic conventions. The diversity of interpretations offered by exegetes therefore underscores the central importance of methodology in understanding the Qur’an.
