The Messenger of Allah described the Koran saying, "Even when it is recited frequently, it never becomes tedious. Its lessons are never ending and its wonders never fade. It is the discrimination. It is not a jest." Scholars can never be satiated by it, nor yet passions misguided, and tongues do not mistake it. It is that which the jinn would not abandon once they heard it. They said, 'We have indeed heard a wonderful Koran that guides to the Right Path' (72:1).

Another facet that cannot be imitated is that it draws together knowledge and faith, both of which most Arabs, including Prophet Muhammad before his Prophethood, were unfamiliar or else their knowledge was very scant consequently little attention was paid to them.

The Koran gathers together and clarifies the science of Law, and informs of ways in which intellectual proofs are deduced and through the use of simple, concise expressions, strong arguments posed by deviant sects are disproved. From time to time unsuccessful attempts have been made to establish comparable proofs to those established in the Koran, however, none were able to accomplish their aim.

Take for example the saying of Allah, "Is He who created the heavens and the earth unable to create their like? Yes, indeed" (36:81). Also, "He will quicken them who originated them the first time" (36:79). And, "Had there been gods in heaven or earth, other than Allah, both would indeed have been ruined" (21:22).

One discovers in the Koran the science of prophetic events (seerah), as well as the history of former nations. It warns, displays wisdom, defines ethics and virtues as well as giving information about the life to come in the Everlasting Life. Allah informs us, "We have neglected nothing in the Book" (6:38). And, "We have sent down to you the Book making everything clear, as a guidance, and mercy, and glad tidings to those who submit." (16:89). And, "In this Koran, We have set forth for mankind all manner of examples" (30:58).

Prophet Muhammad said, "The Koran was sent down by Allah as a command, a prevention, a way to be followed and as a parable. In it is your history, news about that which came before you and that which will come after you and right judgment between you. Neither its repetition is tiring nor its wonders unending. Indeed, it is the truth and not a jest. Whosoever recites it speaks the truth and whosoever judges by it is just. Whosoever argues with it is the winner, and whosoever divides by it is fair. Whosoever acts upon it will be rewarded and whosoever clings to it is guided to the Straight Path, but whosoever seeks guidance from other than it Allah will misguide them. Allah will destroy whosoever judges with other than it. It is the Wise Remembrance, the Clear Light, the Straight Path, the Firm rope of Allah, and a beneficial healing. For whosoever clings to it there is protection
