THE IÌ JĀZ AL-QURAN A STUDY OF THE CLASSICAL SCHOLARS

Abstract

Undoubtedly, the holy Quran is the greatest gift of Allah almighty to all human being from the days of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to the walls of doomsday. Since no prophet would be send after Muhammad (PBUH) so the Quran was preserved for all times to come, contrary to old revelations, which were meant only for some specific period for specific place. The Holy Quran can be applauded on two levels; it is the word of Allah, and it is preserved by Allah himself. These two attributes imply its wisdom, undiluted and uncontaminated text, rhythmical and phonetical excellence, perfect meanings, an outstanding master piece of literature, having solace and soothing elements, perfect in its grammatical structure and above all perfect of the perfection. We observe, no one, in its history, could make any challenge to all its attributes and if someone made, challenge lose its worth since the times of Muhammad (PBUH). In this paper, an attempt has been made to dig out the works of the classical scholars of the Holy Quran regarding Ijaz-ul-Quran
