Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some scholars divide the beginning into three sections: the two sections you mentioned, and a third section they say is from the verse[Taha 20:50], as you saw, a small one.
Answer:
Dividing the sections into three, he divided them into seven sections. The sections are mentioned in the book *Tariq al-Hijratayn* (The Path of the Two Migrations) by Imam Ibn al-Qayyim. He mentioned that guidance is divided into seven sections, or perhaps more, as I think, and he cited a witness from the Qur'an for each section, including[Taha 20:50], meaning He guided him to his interests and benefits.
