The Excellence of Qur'an according to Ma'soomeen (a.s.)


No pen is capable of describing the excellence and magnificence of the Glorious Qur'an. This statement is absolutely correct, because while describing the Holy Qur'an, Prophet Muhammad (blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny) himself said:

"The superiority of the Speech of Allah over other speeches is like the superiority of Allah over His creatures."

Ayatullah Al-Marja' Marhum Sayyid Al-Khui (r.a.) said:
"What can a person say in describing the eminence of the Qur'an and its glory? What can he say to explain its excellence and sublimity? How can a contingent being perceive the greatness of the speech of the Absolute Being? What can an author write about this subject and what can a speaker say? Can a limited being describe anything that is unlimited?

"It is sufficient greatness for the Qur'an, and sufficient eminence and glory, that it is the speech of the Almighty Allah, and the miracle of His noble Prophet (blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny), and that its verses are the guarantee for the guidance of human beings in all their concerns and circumstances and at all times. This is their guarantee to reach the final goal and the great happiness now and later on.

"Indeed, it is better to hand over the elucidation of the excellence of the Qur'an to those comparable to the Qur'an.

They are Prophet Muhammad (blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny) and AHLULBAYT. They are the persons most knowledgeable about its status, and the best able to point out its lofty prestige, and they are its peers in excellence and its associates in guidance".
