I'jaz

For the Afghan cricketer, see Ijaz (cricketer).
A page of the Qur'an,16th century: "They would never produce its like not though they backed one another" written at the center.

In Islam, ’i‘jāz (Arabic: اَلْإِعْجَازُ, romanized: al-ʾiʿjāz) or inimitability[citation needed] of the Qur’ān is the doctrine which holds that the Qur’ān has a miraculous quality, both in content and in form, that no human speech can match.[1] According to this doctrine the Qur'an is a miracle and its inimitability is the proof granted to Muhammad in authentication of his prophetic status. It serves the dual purpose of proving the authenticity of its divineness as being a source from the creator as well as proving the genuineness of Muhammad's prophethood to whom it was revealed as he was the one bringing the message.

Today, works continue to be written, especially about the scientific and hurufic/numerolologic miraculousness of the Quran, and arouse interest in certain segments of Islamic society. (Quran code)
