Summary
The Quran is the word of Allah, so it has many special characteristics and miraculous qualities compared with the words of created beings. This ruling cites verses from Surah Hud, Fussilat, al-Isra' and al-Nahl that point to these qualities. Yusuf al-Qaradawi lists seven: it is a divine book, preserved, miraculous, a source of explanation and ease, a book of religion, a book for all times, and a book for all humanity. The ruling also quotes Hasan al-Banna and a hadith of Abdullah bin Mas'ud on the reward for reciting the Quran.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh kerana al-Quran adalah kalam Allah, maka sudah tentu mempunyai pelbagai jenis keistimewaan dan mukjizatnya berbanding dengan kalam makhluk yang lain.
