I'jaazul Qur'aan:
I’jaaz (inimitability of) Al-Qur’aan:
Allah Ta'ala ya aiko Muhammad ﷺ tsakanin wata al'umma da ke fasaha da tsafta a harshe (watau a harshen Larabci). Suna da kasuwanni da bukukuwan lokaci-lokaci inda za su yi gasa game da tsafta, kyau da fasahar waƙoƙinsu. Waƙar da ta yi nasara za a rubuta ta da zinariya a rataya ta a bangon Ka'aba, wadda ita ce wurin da suka fi girmamawa da tsarki. Labarin zai yaɗu, kabilu kuma su sami girma da daraja ta hakan. A cikin wannan yanayi, Allah Ta'ala ya ba Muhammad ﷺ mu'ujiza irin wadda suke alfahari da ita, ko kuma wadda take cikin rukuni guda. Ita ce maganar Larabci da ke amfani da haruffa da salon magana iri ɗaya da suke ginin waƙoƙinsu da su, kuma Kalaamin Allah ne mai ban mamaki wanda ba zai yiwu mutane su kwaikwaye shi ba.
Allah Ta’Aalaa sent Muhammad (saw) amongst a people who were eloquent and pure of tongue (i.e. in language). They had seasonal markets and fairs in which they would compete in respect to the purity, beauty and eloquence of their poetry. The winning poetry would then be written in gold and hung upon the walls of the Ka’bah which was their most sanctified and sacred place. The news would then spread and the tribes would gain pride and honour through this. Within this reality Allah Ta’Aalaa provided Muhammad (saw) with a miracle which was of the same kind or within the same category that they found pride and honour in. It was Arabic speech utilising the same letters and expressions that they would formulate their poetry from and it was the Kalaam (speech) of Allah that was miraculous and inimitable (impossible for humans to replicate).
