The Quran's Unique Literary Form
✨
Did You Know?
The Quran represents a unique literary genre that broke all established patterns in Arabic literature, leaving the best poets and linguists unable to match its style despite explicit challenges to do so.
وَإِن كُنتُمْ فِي رَيْبٍ مِّمَّا نَزَّلْنَا عَلَىٰ عَبْدِنَا فَأْتُوا بِسُورَةٍ مِّن مِّثْلِهِ وَادْعُوا شُهَدَاءَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant, then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful.
Quran 2:23
