The Greatest Miracle - The Qur`an The glorious Qur’ân is such a miracle that it is beyond comparison. No other scripture possesses the exquisite and majestic charm of melody that the Holy Qur’ân has. An English scholar bears testimony to this fact when he says: “…The glorious Qur’ân, that inimitable symphony the very sound of which move men to tears and ecstasy” Thereafter comes the point of the Arabic language. The Arabic language itself, which is the language of the Qur’ân, is an extremely rich language, a fact attested by all the Arab cists of the world, non- muslins as well. Beyond that, there is the style employed in the Qur’ân, whose depth in the dimension of meaning and heights in respect of grandeur are simply immeasurable by any human genius. This fact has given the language of the Qur’ân the status of pure Arabic and the standard of the Arabic tongue. “Whenever Muhammad was asked a miracle as a proof of the authenticity of the mission” says the French scholar Paul Cassanova, “He quoted the composition of the Qur’ân and its incomparable excellence as proof of its divine origin. And, in fact, even for those who are non-muslims nothing is more marvellous than its language. It is correct to say that the miraculous quality of the Qur’ân resides only partly in its literary aspect. Its emphasis on this aspect was, however, necessitated by the arrogance of the Arabs of those days who were proud of their high attainment in literary aspects.
