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".
