The universal and all- embracing nature of the Qur'an...
The universal and all- embracing nature of the Qur'an: All people will benefit from it at all levels and in all places regardless of whenever or wherever they are; it is not a Book particular to a special time, place, or people. The eternal effect of the Qur'an: The older the age of humanity and the more the sciences progress the more of its secrets are discovered.
Its ever- increasing and its everlasting development: Despite having an increasing number of enemies and the growing number of attacks launched against it during its history, it has not only survived but also it has secured the highest station. (1) Sura Al- Hajj, No. 22, verse 73 It is an ever- existing miracle by itself. A miracle that is available to all and is composed of the kind of words that put it at everyone's disposal. It is both a miracle and a Book of commandments and legal codes.
It is a token from an illiterate man from a region deprived of literacy. Nothing has been added to it or deducted from it and it has been kept intact from distortion. The Qur'an puts forth the simplest challenge, of calling people to present a Sura like it, to prove its being miraculous. It declares: " Or they say, 'He has forged it. ' Say: 'Bring then a Sura like unto it, ..." The Qur'an is a miracle not only in its entirety but also every one of its suras proves the same.
This challenge of the Qur'an is not confined to a specific time and place. It will stand unanswered all over the globe until the end of the life of mankind and the Day of Resurrection. The Qur'an's challenge is not only issued to the common people, on the contrary, it is issued to all of mankind, including: jurisconsults, men of letters, and geniuses. It continues saying: "... and call(to your aid)anyone you can, besides Allah, if you are truthful!
" Commentary : The opponents of the prophets have often had two reasons for their dissidence throughout history, one of which was due to their ignorance and the other to their lack of knowledge and intellectual appreciation of the glorious Qur'an as well as the other heavenly Books.
