Scholars' Stance on the Miraculous Prophecies "Presentation and Editing" in the Qur'an 10.35781/1637-000-114-003

Abstract

This research addresses the topic of scholars' stance on the miraculous prophecies (Presentation and editing) in the Qur'an, intending to gather and examine their opinions. The research aims to explain the idea of miraculous predictions, list its varieties and instances, show how much emphasis scholars have placed on this part of the Qur'an's inimitability, talk about their stances, and offer the most reliable viewpoints on the subject. The researcher employed an inductive-analytical approach in this research. The research yielded several key findings, including: Scholarly Consensus: Most early and subsequent scholars agreed that one of the characteristics of the Qur'an's inimitability is its use of miraculous prophecies. This view is reflected in classical exegetical works, with only a negligible minority dissenting on certain aspects. Some disputes might not be based on substantive opposition, but rather on differences in nomenclature. Foundational Aspect of Miraculous Prophecies: Inherent in the Qur'an's uniqueness are its miraculous prophesies., regardless of whether they are considered part of the challenge (tahaddi) to produce something like the Qur'an. This position has been consistently upheld by the majority of scholars across generations. Evidence of Miraculous Prophecies: The presence of prophecies in the Qur'an that are impossible for humans to predict or for someone like the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to have known independently serves as sufficient evidence of its miraculous nature. Each Surah as a Miracle: Every chapter of the Qur'an is inherently miraculous and challenges humanity to produce something like it, whether or not it contains prophecies about the unseen.
