The answer

Rhetorical inimitability is when humans are incapable of producing anything similar to it in terms of rhetorical aspects. Eloquence is when a speaker, in conveying meaning, reaches a level that fulfills the properties and rights of linguistic structures, and employs various types of similes, metaphors, and metonymies appropriately. It has also been said that eloquence is for the speaker to convey the essence of his intent through his expression, with brevity that is not deficient and elaboration that is not boring. The Qur’an is miraculous in its eloquence, rhetoric, sciences, and knowledge, because it is the word of the Lord of the Worlds.
