Explanation

These readings convey the same meaning in slightly different ways. The first has two clauses, each with the interrogative hamzah: one reinforces the other. The second reading has the hamzah in the former position only, and the third has it in the latter [al-Mahdawi].

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
