An Introduction to the Literary & Linguistic Excellence of the Qur’an

Abstract:

Many historians, scholars, and writers do not contend that the Qur’an has had a huge impact on history – just as it does in global politics today, being an authority for billions of Muslims – and so the reason for this timeless influence should be understood. It is the purpose of this article to show how the Qur’an can be described as a new genre of speech and literary masterpiece. Rational arguments that substantiate this and the Qur’an’s inimitability are presented by Muslims to argue the conclusiveness of their beliefs to a world in constant need of proof. This article intends to contribute to the growing interest in the Qur’an’s message as well as its literary power and will highlight the Qur’an’s ability to convey key concepts and messages in the most profound way, a way that is described by the most experienced Arabic litterateurs as inimitable and unmatched throughout history.

• "I saw a Muslim in need of guidance, but no one was there to assist him."

  Sorry to disturb your article with this important message but we never ever want to hear some say that line above. Yet the 21st century is home to millions of adult Muslims desperately searching for answers, losing confidence to practice and confused how Islam fits in today’s world. The problem is worse amongst our youth and will be even worse for our next generation.

  Islam21c is our chance to prevent this happening and your chance to get the reward for it. We empower you and millions more by equipping you with Islamic guidance and solutions so you are confident in your identity and faith to then impact others to be the same.

  This is an urgent appeal to raise £100,000 for Islam21c. The pandemic has seriously impacted us financially.

  Without your support this organisation cannot continue.
