《古兰经》的无法模仿性(I'jaaz):
I’jaaz (inimitability of) Al-Qur’aan:
安拉泰阿拉派遣穆罕默德ﷺ到一个语言优美、措辞纯正的民族中间。他们有季节性的集市和庙会,人们在其中比拼诗歌的纯净、优美与辞藻的精妙。获胜的诗作会被以金字书写,悬挂在克尔白的墙上,而克尔白是他们最神圣、最庄严的地方。消息随之传开,各部落也因此获得荣耀与尊严。在这样的背景下,安拉泰阿拉为穆罕默德ﷺ降下了一项神迹,它与他们所引以为荣的事物属于同一类别。这神迹就是阿拉伯语的言辞,运用的正是他们编织诗歌时所用的同样字母与表达方式;而安拉的言语(Kalaam)本身就是神迹,是人类无法模仿的。
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).
安拉挑战阿拉伯人,要他们拿出一部与《古兰经》相似、相像的经文,甚至只要拿出一章与之相似的章节。安拉至高无上说:
Allah challenged the Arabs with the Qur’aan by challenging them to bring something similar and like it and indeed even to just bring one Soorah that was similar to it. Allah Ta’Aalaa said:
或者他们说:"他编造了它。"你说:"那么,你们就拿出一章与它相类的经文来吧,如果你们是诚实的,那就除真主之外,尽你们所能招来的人去求助吧。"(优努斯章:38)
Or do they say [about the Prophet]: “He invented it?” Say: "Then bring forth a Surah like it and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allah, if you should be truthful” (Younus 38).
他至高无上的主说:
And He Ta’Aalaa said:
请说:"即使人类和精灵联合起来,要创造出像这部《古兰经》的经文,他们也不能创造出类似的,即使他们互相帮助。"(伊斯拉 88)
Say: "If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were assistants to one another" (Al-Israa’ 88).
