Style of the Koran
The composition and unique style of the Arabic Koran is yet another facet of the inability of mankind to imitate it. Its revelation presented a style of Arabic very different from the regular usage of Arabic not to mention the highly developed methods of composition, prose and poetry of the Arabs. One finds the divisions of its verses stop and finish whereas the words are woven through to the next, this finery neither existed before nor after its sending, and no one was and ever will be capable to produce anything like it.
When the Arabs heard its recitation it they were mystified and their intelligence abandoned them and they surrendered to it. Simply, they had never heard anything so compelling in any form of Arabic either in prose, verse, rhymed prose or poetry.
Waleed, Mughira's son, was very knowledgeable of the finer points of Arabic poetry. He had heard the Prophet speak upon several occasions, and was familiar with his rhetoric, but one day he happened to hear the recitation of the Koran by Prophet that convinced him that these were not, and could not be the words of a human being.
