Abstract

 

The miraculous eloquence of the Qur'an has been a subject of fascination and contemplation for centuries. This paper explores the poetic marvels found within the structure and composition of Qur'anic Surahs and the Mushaf as a whole. By examining the literary harmony, rhythmic patterns, semantic coherence, and thematic connectivity among the Surahs, the research highlights how the Qur'an, without conforming to traditional Arabic poetry or prose, presents an unparalleled mode of expression.

The study provides a linguistic and rhetorical analysis of selected Surahs to demonstrate how the divine text embodies a unique form of nazm (coherent order), which not only transcends literary norms but also establishes a spiritual rhythm that resonates with listeners and readers alike. The arrangement of verses, the balance of sound and meaning, the recurrence of themes, and the deliberate placement of words contribute to the inimitable nature of the Qur'anic discourse.

Furthermore, the Mushaf’s compilation is shown not as a random collection but as a structured textual miracle, where thematic unity and internal connections between Surahs reflect divine wisdom. These elements serve as intrinsic proof of the Qur'an's inimitability (iʿjāz), emphasizing that the power of its language lies not just in content but in its magnificent form.

This abstract thus aims to reaffirm that the Qur’an’s composition stands as an enduring literary miracle—surpassing human capacity and remaining unmatched in both depth and beauty.
