This Book is the greatest of all bounties for human society, as it has been revealed with its eternal miraculous nature. The realisation of this proof does not require any intellectual activity or specialisation in knowledge, as it is understandable and acceptable by all individuals. The miraculous aspects of the Qur’an By now we have an overall understanding of the Noble Qur’an; that it is the speech of God and is miraculous in its nature. We will now expand on some of its miraculous aspects. a.

Its eloquence and rhetoric The foremost miracle of the Qur’an is its eloquence and rhetoric (expressiveness). God the Supreme has utilised the best method, most beautiful words, and rhythmical composition for explaining his objective on every level.

The selection of these words and their exquisite combination, which is harmonious with the exalted and deep meanings, is only viable to someone who has extended knowledge of all the particularities of the words and their precise meanings and relationships with their opposites. In addition they must have the ability to understand all the dimensions of the word, and with the consideration of the indispensability of time and space select the best words and style for expressing themselves.

This art of knowledge is not possible unless it comes through Divine intuition and revelation. The rhythmical beauty and the angelic nature are evident for all individuals, and the artistic eloquence and rhetoric for those with knowledge of the Arabic language is clear.

However to discern that the Qur’an is a miracle regarding its eloquence and rhetoric, requires a philologist - an expert who is specialised in the distinctive arts of speech and is therefore able to compare the Qur’an with different eloquent and rhetorical speeches in order to realise its proficiency. Such was the work of those proficient Arabic poets, who were highly skilled in this art at the time of the descent of the Qur’an.

Divine wisdom and generosity requires that the miracle of every Prophet should be according to the art and science of that period, in order that the sublimity of the miracle is understood.
