The answer

The words and meanings of the Quran are the most honorable of words and meanings. The Quran calls for the oneness of God (Allah), and for faith in Him, His messengers, His books, and the Last Day. It clarifies the rights of monotheism and practical rulings, and mentions beneficial stories that illustrate the fate of monotheists and disbelievers. All the meanings of the Quran are goodness and blessing, and an invitation to the well-being of people in this world and the Hereafter.

Among the facets of the Quran's inimitability is the inclusion of abundant meaning within concise wording, as in the Almighty's saying: {And there is for you in legal retribution [saving of] life.}. These few words encompass numerous meanings. The challenge in this verse lies in both aspects of the Quran's inimitability: its organization and conciseness in defining truths, and the unseen meanings regarding what has passed and what is to come. The entire Quran is miraculous in its words and meanings.
