Day 11

Miraculous Nature of the Qur’an

If all humans and Jinn were to gather together for the purpose of producing the like of this Quran, they would not produce anything like it, even though they pooled their resources together (Qur’an 17:88).

Have you noticed that despite the theme being ‘The Qur’an and Your Child’s Academic Studies’ and Alhamdullilah we have already read 10 episodes, yet we are only scratching the surface with the opening chapter, Surah Al-Fathiha? This is the norm with the Qur’an, as even by taking a few verses or ayahs from this divine book, we can reach out to its vast ocean of knowledge without cherry-picking.

However, even if we were to delve deep into this ocean, we would still not reach its end as the whole Qur’an remains to be discovered. This is a fact that anyone who studies the Qur’an is bound to experience for themselves. Moreover, one does not have to take my word for it as it is more than just a fact written on stone. It is written in the Qur’an, the eternal book of Allah.

The Qur’an is the only book that leads but never needs an update. It is immutable, meant for the good of humanity, and embodies the truth. The verse at the beginning of this episode, from Surah Al-Isra, emphasises this fact by stating that even if all of humanity and jinn were to gather and pool their resources to produce something like the Qur’an, they would not be able to do so, even with each other’s assistance. This highlights the miraculous nature of the Qur’an and its unmatched status among all other books.

The fact that the Qur’an remains unchanged and relevant throughout history is a testament to its divine origin and universal message for all of humanity. Its teachings have the power to transform individuals, societies, and even the world if we seek to understand and implement them in our daily lives.

May Allah SWT guide us to seek knowledge from the Qur’an and apply it in our lives for His sake.
