Quran Gems
Bismillah,
Ibn Kathir states:
Whoever reads through the Qur'an will realize that it contains various levels of
superiority through both the apparent and hidden meanings that it mentions…
So the expressions in the Qur'an are perfect and its meanings are explained.
Further, every word and meaning in the Qur'an is eloquent and cannot be
surpassed…
The Qur'an is true, just and full of guidance. It does not contain exaggerations,
lies or falsehood, unlike Arabic and other types of poems that contained lies.
Sometimes, one would find a long poem that mainly contains descriptions of
women, horses or alcohol. Or, the poem might contain praise or the description of
a certain person, horse, camel, war, incident, fear, lion, or other types of items
and objects. Such praise or descriptions do not bring any benefit, except shed light
on the poet's ability to clearly and eloquently describe such items. Yet, one will
only be able to find one or two sentences in many long poems that elaborate on
the main theme of the poem, while the rest of the poem contains insignificant
descriptions and repetitions.
As for the Qur'an, it is entirely eloquent in the most perfect manner, as those who
have knowledge in such matters and understand Arabic methods of speech and
expressions concur. When one reads through the stories in the Qur'an, he will find
them fruitful, whether they were in extended or short forms, repeated or not. The
more these stories are repeated, the more fruitful and beautiful they become.
The Qur'an does not become old when one repeats reciting it, nor do the scholars
ever get bored with it
(Tafsir Ibn Kathir Al-Baqarah verse 24)
