Qur'onning taqlid qilib bo'lmaydigan (benazir) xususiyati Muhammad ﷺ Allohning oxirgi payg'ambari ekanligining eng kuchli dalili bo'lib qolmoqda. U zot ﷺ shunday degan: "Har bir payg'ambarga odamlar unga iymon keltirishi uchun mo''jizalar berilgan, lekin menga xos bo'lib berilgan narsa — Alloh menga ilhom qilgan vahiydir; shuning uchun Qiyomat kuni ularning ichida eng ko'p ummatga ega bo'lishni umid qilaman."403

The inimitable nature of the Qur’an continues to be the most compelling proof that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم was in fact the final prophet of God. He صلى الله عليه وسلم said, There was no prophet except that he was granted signs that caused the people to believe in him, but what I have been uniquely granted is a revelation that Allah has inspired me with, and thus I am hopeful to have the most followers among them on the Day of Resurrection.403

Bu shuni anglatmaydiki, Payg‘ambar ﷺ boshqa mo‘jizalarga ega bo‘lmagan, xuddi shunday, oldingi payg‘ambarlarga ham vahiy kelmagan degani emas. Balki bu yerda nazarda tutilgan ma’no shuki, Qur’on vaqt o‘tishi bilan odamlarni imonga yo‘naltirishda o‘ziga xos darajada samarali bo‘ladi.

This does not mean that he صلى الله عليه وسلم had no other signs, just as it does not mean that the previous prophets had no revelation. Rather, the implication here is that the Qur’an would be uniquely effective in guiding people to faith over the passage of time.

Shunga hayron bo‘lmasligimiz kerak: doimiy, jonli mo‘‘jiza bo‘lib, har bir avlod bevosita kechira oladigan narsa, tarixning ma’lum bir paytida cheklangan guruh tomonidan guvohi bo‘lingan mo‘‘jiza ustidan g‘alaba qozonishi tabiiy. Ko‘pchilikni hayratga soladigan narsa shundaki, qanday qilib “oddiy adabiy asar” kelib chiqishi jihatidan g‘ayritabiiy deb hisoblanishi mumkin?

It should not surprise us that a permanent living miracle that can be experienced firsthand by successive generations would outperform a miraculous event witnessed by a limited group at a particular moment in history. What does astound many is how any “mere work of literature” could ever qualify as otherworldly in its origins.

Qur’on o‘zini Allohning so‘zi sifatida taqdim etadi va unga o‘xshash narsani hech kim hech qachon yarata olmasligini ta’kidlaydi.404 405 Bu mo‘jizaviylik ko‘p qirrali bo‘lib, ushbu bob uning ba’zi jihatlariga qisqacha tanishtirish va umumiy ko‘rinish beradi, shuningdek, Qur’onning ilohiy kelib chiqishini inkor etishga urinayotgan ba’zi tanqidchilar tomonidan ilgari surilgan “muqobil tushuntirishlar”ga javob beradi. Ushbu mavzuni chuqurroq o‘rganish istagidagi kitobxonlar buning uchun butunlay bag‘ishlangan keng adabiyotlardan foydalanishlari mumkin.406

The Qur’an presents itself as the literal speech of God,404 and asserts that nothing like it will ever be produced.405 This inimitability is multidimensional, and this chapter will simply provide a taste and overview of some of these dimensions, while addressing “alternative explanations” posited by some critics in their attempts to deny the divine origins of the Qur’an. For a deeper exploration of this topic, readers can avail themselves the expansive genre of books dedicated entirely to it.406
