The Qur'an is a living being

Author's name: Mustafa Mahmoud

The language of the Quran differs from our written and spoken language in that it is perfect, free of errors, omissions, or additions. Many cosmic verses have spoken about the stars and their paths, the earth and its creation, life and its beginning, and how modern sciences have brought dazzling new facts over the hundreds of years following the Quranic revelation. They have not violated a single Quranic letter or contradicted a single one, but rather all of them have accompanied the Quranic words and reinforced them. The Quran also provides the final, comprehensive word on systems of government, economics, ethics, human rights, the family, marriage, women, and religious laws. It also stands out for its pinnacle of eloquence, the pinnacle of rhetoric, and a beauty of style that no other book has ever matched. The ancients expounded on this, and we are honored to say that there remains one miraculous aspect of the Quran that is perhaps more important than all of these aspects, and that requires a long-term push. This is what he calls the nail, the geometric structure, the organic composition, or the living connection between words. In this book, the author elaborates on his findings using simple language and a literary style characterized by precision, delicacy, transparency, and scholarship. Therefore, it can be said that the Qur'an is a living entity, a wonderful book—and how could it not be, when it explores one of the Qur'an's treasures?
