The benefits of the verse: “As for those who believe, they know that it is the truth from their Lord. And as for those who disbelieve, they say, ‘What did Allah intend by this as a parable? He misguides thereby many and guides thereby many. And He does not misguide thereby except the corrupt.’”

Among the benefits of this noble verse is the virtue of faith, and that a believer cannot contradict what Allah the Mighty and Majestic has revealed with his intellect, as He said:
And those who have believed know that it is the truth فأما الذين آمنوا فيعلمون أنه الحق
[Al-Baqarah 2:26]
They do not object, nor do they ask “why” or “how?” They say, “We have heard and we have obeyed, and we have believed,” because they believe that Allah the Mighty and Majestic possesses perfect wisdom in what He has legislated and decreed. Among the benefits of this noble verse is the affirmation of specific lordship, as He said:
from their Lordمن ربهم
Know that the lordship of Allah is divided into two categories: general and specific. Both are gathered in the saying of Allah the Exalted: “‘Aqil, the two categories are gathered in the saying of Allah the Exalted?”
(121) They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds, (122) The Lord of Moses and Aaron." قالوا آمنا برب العالمين رب موسى وهارون
[Al-A'raf 7:121-122]
The first is general lordship, and the second is specific lordship. Similarly, the opposite of that, which is servitude, is divided into general, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant. إن كل من في السموات والأرض إلا آتي الرحمن عبدا
[Maryam 19:93]
and specific, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant تبارك الذي نزل الفرقان على عبده
[Al-Furqan 25:1]
