Holy Quran's language is so perfect and eloquent that it cannot be imitated by any human being, even the most gifted poets and orators. Prophet Muhammad PBUH was sent directly to the Arabs of that time who excelled at poetry and rhetoric. Pre-Islamic Arabia held poets in high esteem, valuing their eloquence and mastery of language. The Quraish tribe of Makkah was known for its skilled poets who composed powerful and beautiful verses. The Holy Quran, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, was unlike anything they had heard before. Its language was powerful and rhythmic, and conveyed profound messages about God, morality, and humanity. The Quraish, skeptical of the message, accused Prophet Muhammad PBUH of being a poet or a soothsayer (fortuneteller). In response, the Holy Quran itself challenged the people to make some text like that of the Quran. According to the Holy Quran: 

This challenge of the Holy Quran was significant because it addressed the expertise of the Quraish in their domain, which is language. But Quraish could not produce anything comparable to the Holy Quran. This failure strengthened the belief of Muslims in the divine origin of the Holy Quran.

The Holy Quran started to be revealed to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH at the age of forty years. He had spent his entire life with the people of Arabia. He was Ummi (this term refers to a person who cannot read or write). He never attended school and never took lessons from anyone. He used to herd goats and was an orphan. He was neither raised by a family with a literary background nor was he born into a royal family. No one ever read or listened to any piece of literature or poetry from the Prophet Muhammad PBUH before the revelation of the Holy Quran. So, how could he suddenly start revealing the verses of the Holy Quran, which even literature experts were unable to imitate, despite an open challenge? If the Quran were not God’s word, then it would have been very easy for disbelievers to reject it by accepting this open challenge. But no one accepted the challenge. So, the Holy Quran was a miracle for the people towards whom Prophet Muhammad PBUH was directly sent as a prophet, that is, the people of the Arabian Peninsula.

People are continually discovering new and novel things in the Holy Quran regarding its miraculous nature, including its structure, language, and selection of words. One can find such material easily on the internet, for example, the videos on the discovery of the ring structure of the Holy Quran, pairs of Quranic chapters, smart selection of words, etc. I am not discussing all these things here to remain brief. However, I would like to quote here only one example of such discoveries regarding the language and structure of the Holy Quran. 

This chapter (Surah Kausar) is the shortest chapter of the Holy Quran. Surah Kausar has only 3 verses (Ayats). In the second verse of this surah, it is commanded to perform the Sacrifice. The word “Nahr”, which means to sacrifice a camel, is used in Arabic for sacrifice. Muslims perform this sacrifice annually on the 10th of the Islamic month of Zilhajj. Surprisingly, the number 10 is coded in various ways in this chapter. 

The total number of words in this chapter is 10.

The three verses of this chapter have 10 different Arabic letters.

The number of letters that appear only once in the entire chapter is 10.

The first letter of the Arabic alphabet Alif / Hamza is included 10 times in the entire chapter. It is the most repeated letter in this chapter.

In the second verse, there is the word “Nahr” which means to sacrifice. This annual sacrifice is done by Muslims on the 10th of Zilhajj.

The letter at the end of each verse is “Ra”. In Arabic, this letter is the 10th letter of the Arabic alphabet.

Isn’t it amazing! In just three verses, the number 10 is highlighted in so many ways. Many other amazing things are being continually discovered in the Holy Quran.
