The Qur'an is a linguistic miracle. In its preservation as the unchanged word of God, along with its unique literal style that man has never been able to replicate, this miracle that transcends time and space is proof of God's existence. Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy describe the miraculous nature of the Qur'an.

It’s amazing that Quran sheds layers of knowledge in every era as we discover new science and reflect back to the wisdom of Quran. It’s like a vial placed by a surgeon into the surgical area that will benefit the patient long after the surgery. The miracles of other prophets were more obvious because they were for a certain people and era only. The last Prophet’s (PBUH) miracle; Quran is apparently more subtle but in reality it’s depth and profundity are discovered by those who take this dive and what a beautiful, multidimensional, multilayer depth of knowledge that precedes every era’s discoveries and way more than human brain can ever discover or grasp. Of course, when the creator is so magnificent, creation cannot surpass Him. When creator is a human, creations do surpass him as logarithm and artificial intelligence is already surpassing us. However, our creator is too diverse, too infinite for our capacities to decipher even a finite segment of His infinite creation.

Simple: because it was revealed in pure original Arabic language. Arabic language was revealed to Ismail at the age of 13 in the dream in its fullest form and he taught it to the nomads surrounding him. By the 7th century, the language degraded as it does with any other language with the passage of time. The Arabs at the time of the prophet were speaking one of the half forgotten dialects of Arabic including the prophet himself. When the Recitation was revealed in the pure Arabic language, it caught the common man in the state of utter surprise. They could kind of understand the language, but still were not fully able to grasp it. That is why the role of the prophet was to explain it to them. And no one can imitate it until this day unless they can bring back Ismail the originator of the language!

Of course, many readers also find parts of the Bible to be tedious, repetitive, and didactic. But this is less of a problem for Christians since they don’t claim that the Bible is a word-for-word dictation from God. For Christians, the literary merit of scripture is not a crucial issue. Still, the Bible does have considerable literary merit. Many passages in the Old Testament soar above the Koran-the Psalms, the scene of the dry bones come to life described in Ezekiel (Eze. 37), the Lord answering Job out of the whirlwind (Job 38), the temptation scene in the Garden of Eden, the vivid prophecies of Isaiah. And there is nothing in the Koran to compare with the moving scenes in the Gospels. So, if you hold to the God-dictated-it school of Koran defense, you have a problem. To put it bluntly, why can’t God write as well as human authors such as David, Solomon, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John?-not to mention Homer, Shakespeare, and Tolstoy. Muslim apologists do have an answer to such quibbles. They say that you can only appreciate the true beauty of the Koran by reading it in Arabic. Okay, then, maybe when you read, “We will put terror into the hearts of the unbelievers” (3:151) in the original Arabic it sounds like something out of “The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.” But there is another problem which goes beyond the sound and sense of words. Whether or not the Koran is lacking in stylistic perfection, it is certainly lacking in coherence. And you don’t have to speak high Arabic to notice it. When God wrote the “mother of a book,” He apparently forgot to outline. As a result, there is no beginning, middle, or end to the Koran. As N.J. Dawood, one of its translators, admits, “scholars are agreed that a strictly chronological arrangement is impossible…” Instead, the Koran is arbitrarily arranged according to the length of its chapters with the longest coming first and the shortest, last. Accordingly, the Koran skips back and forth between accounts of Jesus, Moses, Joseph, Abraham, and Noah as though all these figures lived in some kind of time proximity instead of being separated by hundreds, even thousands of years. Besides the strange juxtapositions of the stories and persons, you can add in the fact that, with a few exceptions, none of the stories are fully developed. They are more like story fragments. And the logical transitions between episodes are often missing. As the great Koran scholar Theodor Noldeke pointed out, the extended narratives of the Koran are lacking in “indispensable links, both in expression and in the sequence of events…and nowhere do we find a steady advance in the narration.” One is reminded of Mark Twain’s joke that Fenimore Cooper broke all the rules of literary art, including Rule One, “That a tale shall accomplish something and arrive somewhere,” and Rule Two, “that the episodes of a tale shall be necessary parts of the tale, and shall help to develop it.” In response, Muslim apologists say you should think of the Koran more like a body of sermons than as an organized book. But even on this level the Koran lacks coherence. When you listen to a sermon you expect that the end of it will usually have something to do with the beginning of it. This is quite often not the case with the Koran. If you think there ought to be some logical connection between paragraph one and paragraph two or between paragraph two and paragraph three, you are obviously stuck in the linear mode of thought, and you’re not ready for the Koran. Better practice on some James Joyce first. If you are the Lord of the Universe, apparently you are under no obligation to connect your thoughts. Thus the Koran often seems like a giant game of “Mad Libs” in which unrelated parts are arbitrarily dropped into the narrative. Or, if you prefer a more elegant explanation, here’s Professor Malcolm Clark, author of Islam for Dummies: “The Qur’an is like a montage of different images or a kaleidoscope in which different elements recur but in different arrangements.” That’s one way of putting it. Another way is this: “a confused jumble, crude, incondite; endless iterations, long-windedness, entanglement; most crude, incondite, insupportable stupidity in short.” That’s historian Thomas Carlyle’s description of the Koran-and he was fairly sympathetic to Islam. However you try to explain it, you would think that God could make a better effort. If you believe that the Koran is dictated by God you have to account for the fact that the Author of Creation seems to lack the literary touch-that is, the knack for storytelling, sequence, composition, and drama that we expect in accomplished human authors. Yes, there are beautiful passages in the Koran, but as an exercise in composition it would not pass muster in most freshmen writing courses. Muslims rankle at perceived insults to Allah, but isn’t it a major insult to Allah to attribute to him such a “confused jumble” of a book? Did God write the Koran? Considering what’s at stake, this is not a time to shy away from the question. The truth concerning the circumstances of the Koran’s birth is much more consequential for the world’s fate than any revelations about the circumstances surrounding the birth of President Obama. Is it provocative to ask the question? Yes, but then, nowadays, anything and everything short of a complete submission to Islam is considered provocative by many Muslims. Besides, contrary to the sensitivity watchdogs, tough questions aren’t usually asked simply for the purpose of provoking anger. Believe it or not, tough questions are often intended to provoke thought. It’s not just Muslims who need to rethink the Koran, but all those non-Muslims who, without knowing anything about it, still believe the Koran ought to be accorded great respect. The Southern Command guidelines for military personnel not only mandate wearing clean gloves when touching the Koran, they also require that the Koran be handled in a “manner signaling respect and reverence.” “Handle the Koran,” state the guidelines, “as if it were a fragile piece of delicate art.” “Fragile?” Yes. Maybe the Southern Command brass have it right, after all. Handle with care. And don’t drop it. It’s brittle.

The Quran broke beyond all the rules and still make sense. The Quran doesnt use any of the 17 categories and is in its own class. An analogy would be that you know there are letters from A to Z in which we combine consonants and vocals to form messages. Now imagine the Quran arrives and form messages that makes sense by using only consonants, something that is not possible. In order to increase the magnitude of this essence the Quran should be compared to The jahilliyah Poems. It puts a great contrast between man made and God made. Showing a child a flying man isnt impressive if not you establish the fact no one can fly. This creates the contrast.

Shakespeare is inimitable too. He came from a common family and, just like Mohammed, was not particularly well educated. Mozart is inimitable, and he began composing at the age of 5, so clearly his genius preceded education as he was too young to have had any substantial composition education. Goethe created an entire literary movement at 16, with a book he wrote in 4 weeks, while studying law. Beethoven is inimitable. And not only did he not have composition lessons when he was composing in his childhood years, but he was actively discouraged from composing by his alcoholic father who would beat him senseless when he heard him play his own music. History is full of incredible people who achieved things no one else has, and that no one else could. Often surpassing those who were educated. I don't see how that proves anything.

It is interesting how all of these examples u give lie shakespeare base their own works off already existing literature but adding their own specials to it. Meanwhile the Qoran does not build upon already existing structures but creates its own.

@@Hasan-be9hc Shakespeare wrote in a radically unique way that altered English literature forever and has never been imitated before. He was influenced by others in the sense that he wrote in the same language (though even that isn't entirely true because he invented so many words). If an alien were to land on earth and analyse the Qur'an, knowing nothing of religion, and examined it purely as a literary work, it would find influences by past Arabic texts. Even if the form of the text was completely new, any piece of writing cannot help but be the product of a given history. The fact that the Qur'an contains rhyme - even if the rhymes are different from previous styles of rhyming - and is split into verses is a clear influence by the Arabic literacy tradition. But no matter what I say, you will never be convinced because you don't believe in this because of some reason, you have the belief and then you accept whatever reasons line up with it. If I point to something as a genuine historical influence you will say "It was not historical influence, it was the will of Allah that the Qur'an be structured this way". So, every counter example to your claim can be handwaved away. You are by definition not engaged in a discussion but a practiced call-and-responce monologue.

At the end of the day, islam is a religion like any other that provides a list of signs, and it is our choice whether we choose to believe, and/or disbelieve in said signs. Me personally, I find that the inimitable nature of the quran is a divine sign, but even if you reject that and say "but its possible that Muhammad was just a talented poet", there are ample signs present elsewhere in quran and hadith that I feel further increase the probability of islam being the truth. There are infact, numerous instances of scientific and historial miracles in the quran, to which you can also just say has a possibility of being a "lucky guess". My point here being that regardless of how many signs are provided to some folk, it is without a doubt that with a small section of them, will find any possible excuse to reject every sign provided as they are listening with a predetermined idea that islam is inherently wrong and falsehood.

​@@georgepantzikis7988 how about the other feats? like despite having no power he started a movement which ended with him creating a new empire that was strong enough to conquer syria, egypt and persia in a short time. His perfect act (i dont believe he acted) throughout his life even in danger. Even in war when the enemy can attack any time, he still stood up and prayed salah for literally no benefit. inventing a new religion which includes knowledge of various fields from rituals to state laws despite him coming from a illiterate background. the literary eloquence is there as well. all these combined is imitable? and what proof do you want? you have to understand that you are risking going to hell here. i mean if someone tells me to stay at a place for a day and pulls out a gun that looks real, i wont say show me proof. its just staying for a day.

@@condorianonegdiffsgoku Islam's success as a religion is not evidence for its truth. You consider every religion except Islam to be leading people to hell, yet they also have texts of high literary quality, they have had empires, they have made contributions to law and other fields, and they have also had humble beginnings. You're not proving anything. By your logic, why shouldn't I become a Hindu? The Mahabharata is one of the jewels of world literature, they have had many empires, and the extent of their influence in law, philosophy, medicine, etc. is much larger than Islam's.
