The miraculous nature of its eloquence
The miraculous nature of its eloquence encompasses the linguistic purity of the Qur'an's words
and the rhetorical power of its styles
and the perfection of its structure and coherence.
This miraculous quality is the strongest proof in the era of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, of the truth of his call.
This is for two reasons:
Firstly,
the challenge is presented with just one chapter of the Noble Qur'an.
This applies even to the shortest chapter within it.
A short chapter may not contain legislation, news of the unseen,
or a scientific fact,
so that it would possess legislative, unseen, or scientific miraculousness.
However, it is never devoid of eloquent miraculousness.
Secondly,
a miracle typically appears in the same form as what people are known for and excel at.
For example, Moses, peace be upon him, was sent to a people renowned for their magic,
so his staff became a nullifier of that magic.
And Jesus, peace be upon him,
in his time, people were known for medicine,
so his miracles aligned with that and were even more profound.
He would heal the sick and bring the dead to life by Allah's permission.
The Arabs were known for the purity of their language and the rhetorical power of their discourse styles.
Thus, the Noble Qur'an came encompassing the highest degrees of this purity and eloquence, increasing the challenge.
However, this eloquent miraculousness is only understood by eloquent and eloquent Arabs,
and those who master the Arabic language and its arts.
This is not achieved by non-Arabs or contemporary Arabs,
due to the prevalence of linguistic awkwardness and distance from purity and eloquence in their tongues.
Such individuals are rendered incapable by all other forms of miraculousness.
As for eloquent miraculousness,
for them, it will be a matter of their accepting that the eloquent and eloquent Arabs
were unable to imitate the Qur'an or produce anything like it.
Therefore, they are even more incapable.
And whoever studies the language well and masters it,
whether Arab or non-Arab,
will discover the essence of this type of miraculousness and comprehend it,
and accept it, just as the early Arabs accepted it.
