The signs of the miracle - Abu Fuhair Mahmoud Shaker

It was not for the Arabic language to have a matter or for the traces of cultural interaction to survive as long as it did, had it not been for God's favor upon people with His Quran. The Quran was a sign of the Prophet, peace be upon him, of his prophethood — and every prophet has a sign — but the Quran did not resemble any of the signs of the previous messengers. All of them were of a nature that humans could hardly produce, whether little or much. People were disheartened when they saw them, but the Quran is of a nature that all Arabs mastered and became proficient in. Their time was the most eloquent period of Arabic, and they learned eloquence through their speech. Yet, the Quran defeated them; they knew that no one could produce something like the Quran's arrangement.
