"Miracles Of Quran"
The Quran, revered by Muslims as the direct word of Allah, is considered a miraculous text. Its divine nature is evident through its content, preservation, and impact on individuals and societies. Below are the prominent categories of the miracles of the Quran :
1. Linguistic Miracles
Unique Literary Style
The Quran’s language is unmatched in its eloquence, rhythm, and structure. It blends prose and poetry while maintaining a unique style that captivates listeners and readers alike.
Challenge of Inimitability
The Quran issues a challenge to humanity and jinn to produce even a single chapter like it:
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:23): "And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant, then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful." Despite numerous attempts over centuries, this challenge has never been met.
Preservation of the Arabic Language
The Quran has safeguarded the structure and grammar of Classical Arabic, influencing literature and ensuring linguistic consistency over centuries.
2. Scientific Miracles
The Quran contains descriptions of natural phenomena that align with modern scientific understanding, despite being revealed over 1,400 years ago.
Embryology
The Quran describes the stages of human development in the womb in Surah Al-Mu’minun (23:12-14):
“We created man from an extract of clay. Then We placed him as a sperm-drop in a firm lodging. Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation.” These descriptions align with modern embryological discoveries.
Astronomy
Expanding Universe: Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51:47): "And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander."
Orbits of Celestial Bodies: Surah Ya-Sin (36:40): "It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming."
Water Cycle
The Quran accurately describes the water cycle in Surah Az-Zumar (39:21): "Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs and rivers in the earth...?"
3. Historical Miracles
Preservation of Pharaoh’s Body
In Surah Yunus (10:92):, the Quran states that Pharaoh’s body would be preserved as a sign for future generations. This prophecy aligns with the discovery of mummified remains in Egypt.
Unaltered Narratives
The Quran provides accurate accounts of historical events and figures, often correcting details that had been distorted or lost in previous scriptures.
4. Preservation and Authenticity
Unchanged Text
