The work introduces the historical reaction of the early Arabs to the Qur’an’s recitation, highlighting their recognition that it differs from known human expression. It surveys scholarly efforts across centuries and emphasizes Draz’s contribution through analysis of the Qur’an’s unity, semantic design, and literary miracle.","The Qur’an  \nAn Eternal Challenge  \nal-Naba’ al-Aẓīm  \nMuhammad Abdullah Draz  \nTranslated and edited by Adil Salahi  \nC Cooperative Office for Islamic Propagation in Rabwah , 2019 King Fahd National Library Cataloging-in-Publication Data  \nOsoul Global Center  \nAl Naba Alazim. / Osoul Global Center . -Riyadh , 2019  \n254 p ; 16 X 23 cm  \nISBN: 978-603-8229-74-3  \n1-Quran-General studies I-Title  \n229 dc 1439/5741  \n[L.D. no. 1439/5741](L.D. no. 1439/5741)  \nISBN: 978-603-8229-74-3  \nTable of Contents  \n\n|  Introduction | 7 |\n| --- | --- |\n|  About the Book and Its Author | 11 |\n| \u003Cbr> | 17 |\n|  Preface | 21 |\n|  Introduction | 23 |\n|  The Qur’an Its Definition and How It Differs from Hadith | 27 |\n|  The Source of The Qur’an | 35 |\n|  | 55 |\n|  Muhammad’s Teacher | 79 |\n|  A Source Beyond Man’s Worl | 95 |\n|  The Qur’an: A Literary Miracle | 107 |\n|  The Secret of the Qur’anic Miracle | 13 |\n|  Surpassing Excellence in Every Passage | 145 |\n|  Broadest Meaning Minimum Wording | 165 |\n|  | 179 |\n|  The Semantic Design of the Longest Surah | 203 |\n\nContents Page  \nPostscript  \nThe Prophecies of the Qur’an  \n,  \nThe Unity of Each Surah  \nIntroduction  \nThe Qur’an was most fascinating to the Arabs when it was first revealed and recited to them. They were a nation that took great pride in its natural talent of beautiful expression. Numerous were their poets, despite the fact that they were largely unlettered. They rated fine expression as the top talent anyone could have. Therefore, a poet was given a high status in his tribe and he returned that favour by continuously singing his tribe’s praises.  \nAll this changed when the Qur’an was recited to them by Muhammad, the final messenger God sent to mankind. They recognised its great superiority to anything they had experienced. They realised that it was totally different from poetry, but they could not compare it to any style of expression they knew. It was enough to listen to one passage of the Qur’an for the chief of one of their largest tribes to comment: ‘This is not the speech of any human being. Had it been human speech, we would have recognised it’.1  \nWhat makes the Qur’an so unique? Over the centuries, countless studies sought to answer this question. Some scholars came up with perceptive ideas, and others gave valid theories. Some wrote voluminous works, and others cited numerous examples to prove their theories. May God reward them all for their fine efforts.  \n1- Al-Mafrooq ibn Amr, the chief of the Shayban tribe, listened to the Prophet reciting verses 151-3 of Surah 6.  \n Introduction ~~ ~~   \nThe present work by Muhammad Abdullah Draz is a short one, but it ranks among the most preceptive studies of the style of the Qur’an. It sheds new light on its uniqueness and it reflects the depth of insight its author had. The author takes us into areas that are hardly touched upon by earlier scholars. The way that he shows the unity of each surah is particularly impressive.  \nThe Osoul Center is proud to present this book to English readers.
