The Holy Quran is the central religious text of Islam which Muslims believe was revealed by God to the Prophet Muhammad. It contains the scriptures and laws that lay out how Muslims should behave and live, as well as a comprehensive philosophy. The Quran is written in Arabic and is considered linguistically and scientifically miraculous, as it contains knowledge and prophecies that were not known at the time but have been later proven true. It remains completely authentic in its original language, unlike other religious texts. Reciting and reflecting on the Quran is an important part of Muslim faith and daily life.

4. Why is the Qur’an a Miracle?
The Quran is linguistically miraculous because it falls
beyond the productive capacity of the nature of the
Arabic language.
The Arabs, who were known to have been Arabic
linguists par excellence, failed to successfully challenge
the Qur’an. Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot, who was a
notable British Orientalist and translator, states:
“…and that though several attempts have been made
to produce a work equal to it as far as elegant writing
is concerned, none has as yet succeeded.”

5. The linguistic Miracles
The holy Quran is revealed into completely unfamiliar
genre of literature, It is not like any kind of any literary
works, the source of its beauty is mysterious.
This view is supported by the Arabic classical scholars
and western writers such as as Arthur J. Arberry,
Professor Bruce Lawrence and D.J. Stewart.
Al literary forms can be categorised as either prose or
poetry. According to Muslim and Non-Muslim scholarship,
however, the Qur’an cannot be described as any one of
these known forms of Arabic speec

moral directives, legal prescriptions, exhortation and
admonition, censure and condemnation of evildoers,
warnings to deniers of the Truth, good tidings and words

7. The authenticity of Holy Quran
The Holy Quran is the sole Holy Book that remained as it was
revealed to prophet Muhammad; every word, every letter and
every sentence is still as it was in the time of the Prophet.
Unlike any other Holy Book, the Holy Quran was written down
in the time of Prophet Muhammad.
Most of Prophet Muhammad's companions, tens of thousands,
learned the Qur’an by heart, repeatedly recited in front of the
prophet for his approval or the approval of other Sahaba
Muhammad approved and also compiled it in written form while
he was alive. It was compiled into one book by the second Caliph,
Abu-Bakr. Usman, the fourth caliph unified all the dialect that
people followed into one dialect.

8. Evidence to its divine source
The Holy Quran provides evidences to its divine source that fits
the culture of every age without any error. In addition to its
unique literary styles, there are prophecies that were fulfilled in
the time of the Prophet. There are prophecies that were fulfilled
later and even now there are prophecies that we see them
being fulfilled.
The Holy Quran contains tens of scientific statements that are
supported by our modern science, thus not only the Holy Quran
provides evidences to its divine source but even undermine the
basics of atheism.
Also the Holy Quran contains historical facts that modern
excavation aided with satellites pictures support, these facts
