It is indeed above all and nothing is above it!
It is indeed above all and nothing is above it!” Abu Jahl said, “By god, your people will not be pleased unless you say something against it.” He replied, “Give me some time to think.” When he pondered, he said, “This is an enchantment that has information about others.”[^5] Their allegation that the Qur’an is enchantment is surely due to their surrender to its miraculousness, because enchantment is a result of normal causes that are not outside human powers.
Hence, that was an achievable matter for them. Magicians and prognosticators were all over the Arabian Peninsula and the nearby lands. Nevertheless, history has recorded that they could not find an answer for the challenge of the Qur’an. They thus took refuge in trying to tempt the Prophet (S) with wealth and status. When he rejected all that, they began attempts to murder him (S).
Guidance of the Qur’an The Noble Qur’an was revealed in an age when a group of people were atheists, who did not believe in transcendental beings. They used to believe that the one managing the astonishing system of creation is not attributed with wisdom and perception. As for the ones who did believe in transcendental beings they used to worship idols of all shapes.
On the contrary, the ones that were connected to the heavenly religions were describing God with human characteristics based on their altered books. History has recorded that the people in such an era were at their lowest in terms of ideas, morals and practices. An Ummi man rose, who had not received knowledge from anyone; yet, he broke the locks of ignorance and misguidance.
He opened the gates of knowledge and guidance, revived the dead souls with pure life and took the people out of darkness into the light. He called the people to the service of Allah, Who is free from all deficiencies. From Him are all perfections and beauties. To Him is all praise and extol. He declared that God alone deserves worship and that whatever other than Him they call onto is like a mirage in the desert, which the thirsty presume to be water.
He also declared that Allah is Greater than being restricted with limits and attributed with descriptions. سبحان الله والحمدلله ولااله الاالله والله اكبر Glory be to Allah, all praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest . The Prophet (S) challenged in an environment in which they were ascribing the Creator with numbers, composition with numbers and Trinity.
