According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the divine nature of the Quran is a foundational tenet of faith, established by its miraculous quality of I'jaz (inimitability). This doctrine, as explained by authorities like Ibn Kathir in his tafsir of Surah Yunus 10:37, asserts that the Quran's perfect eloquence, profound legislative wisdom, and knowledge of the unseen could not possibly be produced by a human being. [3] The verse states explicitly that this scripture is 'not such as could ever be produced by other than Allah,' but is a confirmation of previous revelations and a detailed exposition of divine law 'from the Lord of the Worlds.' [9] Al-Qurtubi and other commentators emphasize that this inimitability serves as the primary proof of Prophet Muhammad's prophethood. [14] The Quran's divine nature means it is the verbatim, uncreated Speech of Allah, a perfect and eternal source of guidance for all humanity. [2]
