Muhammad a Prophet For all Humanity
15. The Qur’an—The Prophet’s Miracle
~ 357 ~
Ramayan (A.D. 1623), and the dramas of
Shakespeare (1564-1616), are considered literary
masterpieces of their respective languages. They
have been read and performed continuously from
the time of their compilation until the present day.
But they have not been able to keep the languages
in which they were written from alteration. The
Greek of Homer, the Sanskrit of Tulsi Das and even
the English of Shakespeare, are now classical rather
than modern languages.
The Qur’an is the only book to have moulded a
language in its own form, and maintained it in that
form over the ages. There have been various
intellectual and political upheavals in Arab
countries, but the Arabic language has remained as
it was when the Qur’an was revealed. No change
in Arab social order has been able to alter in any
way the Arabic tongue. This fact is a clear
indication that the Qur’an came from a
supernatural source. One does not have to look any
further than the history of the last 1500 years to see
the miraculous nature of the Book revealed to the
Prophet Muhammad.
