I’jaaz al-Qur'aan -The Miraculous Nature of the Qur'aan

Abstract

This article discusses the miraculous nature of the quraan. The Qur’an is regarded in Islam as the supreme and eternal miracle bestowed upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This article expores the miraculous characteristics of the Qur’an by analyzing its linguistic inimitability (iʿjāz al-Qur’an), structural hormony, and profound meanings, which posed a challenge to the most articulate Arabs of its era and continue to resist imitation. It also emphasizes the Qur’an’s flawless preservation, internal consistency, and all-encompassing guidance for moral, spiritual, and social aspects of life. Additionally, the study examines the Qur’an’s enduring significance and its function as a source of divine guidance (hidāyah) for humanity. Through these aspects, the paper asserts that the Qur’an is not a product of human authorship but a divine revelation, serving as a lasting miracle for all generations.
