386. Essence of Islam-1 three kinds of miracles. Indeed, this is the great sign of all Divine words that these three kinds of miracles should be found in them. In the Holy Qur'ān all three are found in a high and perfect and complete degree, and they are put forward by the Holy Qur'an repeatedly as proof of its being matchless and peerless, as it is said: قل لئن اجتمعت الانس والجِنُّ عَلى أَن يَأْتُوا بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْقُرْآنِ لا يَأْتُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ وَلَوْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ ظَهِيرًا 230. Proclaim to these disbelievers that if all humans and genii, that is, the entire creation, were to agree to produce the like of this Qur'ān, they would not be able to produce a book which combines the internal and external qualities of the Holy Qur'an even though they all help each other in the effort. . At another place it is said:. In other words: مَا فَرَّطْنَا فِي الْكِتَبِ مِنْ شَيْء 231 يَتْلُوا صُحُقًا مُطَقَرَةٌ ، فِيْهَا كُتُبُ قَيْمَةً . 232. O. The Holy Qur'ān comprises the sum and substance of all divine scriptures. . . . . At another place it is said: تو انزلنَا هُذَا الْقُرْآن عَلى جَبَلٍ لَّرَأَيْتَهُ خَاشِعًا مُتَصَدِّعًا مِّنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُها للنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ : 233. We have revealed this Qur'ān to you; had it been sent down on a mountain, it would have been rent asunder in 230 Bani Isrā'il, 17:89 [Publisher] 231 'Nothing have We left out in the Book (the Qur'ān).
