One of the miraculous aspects of the Quran is its unparalleled literary excellence. At the time of the Quran’s revelation in the 7 th century CE, Arabic literature was at its peak. Muhammad PBUN wasn’t known to have composed poetry and was actually an illiterate. However, when God tasked
him with prophethood at the age of 40 and began revealing the Quran to him, the Arabs were mesmerized by the supreme eloquence and unique rhythmic style of its verses. It didn’t fit traditional poetic forms nor was it in the category of prose. It
was completely different and far superior to any literary work known to them. This wasn’t just the opinion of Muhammad PBUN ’s followers; even one of his harshest enemies,al-Waleed ibn al-Mugheerah reluctantly admitted to the Quran’s greatness: “By God! The words brought forth by this man are such as to be incomparable with any of the others. By God! His words possess a charming sweetness and a particular
beauty … it is superior to all other discourses.”
Since the time of Muhammad PBUN, Muslims have strived to memorize the Quran, aided by its divine style and
flow. Today, an estimated 10 million Muslims around the world have memorized the entire book despite its vastness. In the end, another miraculous aspect of the Quran is
the fact that it has remained unaltered since its revelation more than 1400 years ago. This is exactly the promise made by Allah where he says.....

Q. 15.9
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا ٱلذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ

Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.


Say, “If mankind and the jinn gathered in
order to produce the like of this Qur’an,
they could not produce the like of it, even
if they were to each other assistants.”
Q.17.88
