Abstract

Since miracles are considered as a way to prove prophethood from the point of view of religious people, proving the inability of human beings to create something like the Qur'an is a reason for the divinity of the Qur'an and a reason for the validity of the claim of the Holy Prophet prophethood. The inability of human beings to create something like the Qur'an proves the claim of prophethood of the Prophet if its implication is accepted as the validity of the claim of its creator. The proof of this implication is based on the rational explanation of goodness and badness, and after believing and confessing the existence of Allah, the Almighty, the Wise and the All-Knowing. In this article, this issue has been examined via a descriptive, analytical and library method and according to the rules of "obligation of grace", "ugliness of exaggeration with ignorance" and "refusal to violate the intention" of Allah. The result of the present article is the proof of the rational and logical reason for human inability to create the Qur'an indicates its divinity.
