Allah's Miracles in the Qur'an

The Koran is universally allowed to be written with the
utmost elegance and purity of language, in the dialect of
Koreish, the most noble and polite of all Arabians… The style of the
Koran is generally beautiful and fluent,… and in many places, specifi-
cally where the majesty and attributes of God are described, sublime
and magnificent… He succeeded so well, and so strangely captivated
the minds of his audience, that several of his opponents
thought it the effect of witchcraft and enchantment. 266 (From

George Sale's book, The Koran: The Preliminary Discourse)
A miracle of purity of style of wisdom and of
truth. 267 (From Rev. R. Bosworth Smith's book,
Mohammed and Mohammadanism)
It [the Qur'an] has a rhythm of peculiar beau-
ty and a cadence that charms the ear. Many
Christian Arabs speak of its style with warm admiration,
and most Arabists acknowledge its excellence… indeed it
may be affirmed that within the literature of the Arabs,
wide and fecund as it is both in poetry and in elevated
prose, there is nothing to compare with it. 268 (From
Alfred Guillaume's book, Islam)
