القرآن الكريم والإعجاز

The Inimitability of the Holy Qur’an

Abstract

This study explores Qur’anic miracles as presented in scholarly writings. The miracle of the Holy Qur’an manifests in various forms, including its rhetorical and literary inimitability, noted for its eloquence, structure, and precision in word choice; and the metaphysical miracle, which encompasses knowledge of unseen events and past nations. The legislative miracle, reflected in a comprehensive system of laws that bring up justice, mercy, and social harmony; the numerical miracle, involving unexplored mathematical patterns; and the scientific miracle, which aligns with and anticipates modern scientific discoveries. Central to these forms is the Holy Qur’an’s use of proof, employing rational, empirical, and spiritual evidence to affirm the
truth and refute falsehood. The study employs a comprehensive analytical and inductive methodology, drawing upon both classical and contemporary sources to identify the distinctive features that affirm the Qur’an’s divine origin and its inability to be replicated by human effort.
