The Qur’an’s Challenge: A Literary and Linguistic Miracle

How are stylistic variations unique to the ‪#‎Quran‬?:

The Qur’an achieves its unique literary form by transcending the use of language that is common to saj’. S. M. Hajjaji-Jarrah in her article “The Enchantment of Reading: Sound, Meaning, and Expression in Surat Al-Adiyat”, which discusses how the Qur’an achieves its uniqueness due to stylistic differences, states: “…Qur’anic ‘Arabiyya brings forth a dazzling assembly of word meaning and sound defying the conventions of both the Arabian saj’ and the literary rules of classical Arabic literature”. [29]

The following posts provide linguistic and literary evidence for the Qur’an’s stylistic distinction.
