The Quran is a peerless miracle. It contains the most profound pieces of knowledge and scientific information; essentials of law and jurisprudence that would provide a basis for all the forms of civil law that have ever been established up to now, a number of unknown facts about ancient history, the most comprehensive ethical principles that could be given to humanity, valuable pieces of advice , the most logical explanatory rudiments about this world and the next, and many other similar facts, which no one knew or could ever know, or even imagine until the time of its advent. And all these facts are expressed in such a high style as could not be within anyone’s capacity. Muhammad (SAW) was forty years old when Jibrial (AS) brought Him the first piece of Wahi (Revelation of Quran) on the mount of Hira, when He had secluded himself for worship. He was so overwhelming bewildered and stricken with awe that He ran home with fright, asked His blessed wife Khatija (RA) to make Him lie on his bed and to cover Him tightly with something thick and did not recover for a long time. Is this the way that a person who assumed exceptional spirituality and great superiority and who wished to prepare a new religious book for the humanity would be? First of all, would not He have acquired knowledge ample enough to write such a tremendous work of art, reading volumes of books and making the long preliminary studies? As a matter of fact Muhammad (SAW) was taken along in two different business expeditions to Damascus as he was a child, was charged only with the protection and security of the commercial goods and the management of the caravans in these expeditions, and accomplished these duties owing only to His exceedingly lofty moral quality and Integrity and unbelievably high intellectual merits. This sudden, unexpected revelation, which He had not even imagined, frightened, rather than pleased Him. However, as the events of revelation recurred, He gradually realized that Almighty Allah had decreed to assign Him a considerably important and heavy task, committed all His existence to obeying the commandments of Almighty Allah and began to publicize the Islamic Religion, which He had communicated to Him and which was based on the, unity of Almighty Allah. Muhammad (SAW) spreading Islam providing Him no worldly benefits, but on the contrary all the Maccan’s became His enemies. He is known to have stated, “No other Prophet suffered so much as I neither have, nor did any of them experience the same distresses as I have.” This Hadith is recorded in books. These facts show that Muhammad (SAW) did not seek any worldly advantages or any personal aspirations in spreading a new religion. He had found Himself living in would hardly promise Him any success in the realization of so great a dream.
Whereas in the holy books belonging to the other religions mention is made only to spiritual matters, the Quran also contains social, economical, jurisprudential teachings. These teachings include a number of principles that people should observe in worldly life, and even several principles of civil code. In addition it contains commandments as how to perform acts of worship, how to fast, as how to wash, as well as admonitions that other people and votaries of other religions should be treated kindly.
Quran is the greatest miracle of Muhammad (SAW). The greatest personal sign testifying to the Prophethood of Muhammad (SAW), are His extraordinary qualities such a honesty, integrity, faithfulness, valor, patience, efficiency as well as His high knowledge. Let we perform an extremely patient and thoroughly impartial observation to see whether the Quran id really a great miracle. A book’s being a miracle requires its having been written in a very eloquent language, its divulging such facts and prodigies as nobody else knows or has heard of yet, and its having been arranged in such an order as no human being could imitate. Islam means to submit oneself entirely (to Allah’s will). The Quran is the holy book of the Islamic religion. Whereas in the holy books belonging to the other religions mention is made only to spiritual matters, the Quran also contains social, economical, jurisprudential teachings. These teachings include a number of principles that people should observe in worldly life, and even several principles of civil code. In addition it contains commandments as how to perform acts of worship, how to fast, as how to wash, as well as admonitions that other people and votaries of other religions should be treated kindly.
