While we have an eternal miracle like the Qur’an,
I feel no need for any other proof.
While we have an evidence of truth like the Qur’an,
I feel no difficulty in silencing those who deny.

Note: The verses discussed in this treatise are those that have been criticized or questioned. Their truths are herein explained in such a way that these very points are shown to be, in reality, the rays of miraculousness and the sources of the Qur’an’s eloquence.

Doubts based on such pretexts as the sun runs ... and the mountains as masts, through which they seek to cast doubt on the Qur’an’s authenticity and authorship, are removed.

Since this treatise was composed quickly and amid troubled circumstances, there may be some defects in the expression of ideas. However, it explains several issues that have great scientific importance, and so may be of use even in its present form.

— Said Nursi

In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
Say: “If humanity and jinn banded together to produce the like of this Qur’an, they would never produce its like, even though they backed one another.” (17:88)

Out of countless aspects of the Qur’an’s miraculousness, which is a store of miracles and the greatest miracle of Prophet Muhammad, I have so far mentioned about 40 in my Arabic treatises, Isharat al-I‘jaz·(Signs of Miraculousness, an introductory commentary on the Qur’an) and in the previous 24 Words. I will explain only five here, which briefly mention the others, following an introductory definition of the Qur’an.
