अद्वितीय साहित्यिक रूप

क्या आप जानते थे?

कुरान की साहित्यिक शैली अरबी भाषा में अद्वितीय है, यह न शुद्ध गद्य है और न शुद्ध कविता।

وَإِن كُنتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِّمَّا نَزَّلْنَا عَلَىٰ عَبْدِنَا فَأْتُوا بِسُورَةٍ مِّن مِّثْلِهِ وَادْعُوا شُهَدَاءَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

कहो: अगर मनुष्य और जिन्न मिलकर इस कुरान जैसा लाने के लिए एकत्र हों, वे इसके समान नहीं ला सकते

कुरान 17:88

व्याख्या

कुरान की भाषाई शैली 1400 वर्षों से अतुलनीय बनी हुई है।

वैज्ञानिक विवरण

Literary Uniqueness

The Quran's literary style avoids all known classifications of Arabic literature. It breaks from the 16 poetic meters (bihar) established by Al-Farahidi. It's also not prose (mursal) as it doesn't follow the conventions of Arabic prose, nor is it rhymed prose (saj') as its patterns differ significantly from established saj' patterns. This created a completely new literary paradigm.

The Challenge (Tahaddi)

The Quran presents a direct literary challenge (tahaddi) to create something similar to it. This challenge appears in multiple verses (2:23-24, 10:38, 11:13, 17:88). Initially, challengers were invited to produce an entire book like the Quran, then just ten chapters, and finally just one chapter. Despite reduced requirements, no one succeeded in creating anything comparable according to objective literary criteria.
