The answer

The religion of Islam is the religion Allah chose for His creation, and it is their path to salvation and happiness in this world and the hereafter. Ja'far ibn Abi Talib clarified to the Negus the condition of the Arabs before Islam and how Islam transformed them from ignorance to monotheism and virtuous character. As for the miraculousness of the Qur'an, it is evident in its challenge to the eloquent and articulate to produce anything like it, and in the testimonies of fair-minded Westerners who have affirmed its scientific and linguistic miraculousness. It is miraculous in its eloquence and composition, in its unique style that does not resemble human speech, in its predictions of the unseen, and in its recounting of the histories of previous centuries with extreme precision.
