The Literary & Linguistic Miracle of the Qur'an

Hamza Andreas Tzortzis delivers a lecture on the literary and linguistic miracle of the Qur'an at Oxford University. The presentation discusses the nature of the Qur'an, the linguistic challenge of the Qur'an, the uniqueness of the Qur'an, what makes this uniqueness a miracle (using rational deduction and the philosophy of miracles) and concludes with statements from western scholarship.

mashaalah, he is a very good lecture indeed. i love him for the sake of ALlah.

i have one question, got nothing to do with the lecture tho..is it really that hard to buy a nice affordable camera in order to capture this type of event better? the lecture, like i said, is great but to watch it in this level of quality is quite frustrating.

c'm on, seriously, is it really that hard to do that?

remember - the files are VERY big ... they are hard to upload so maybe thats why the quality is lower :) it might not be a camera issue at all

ddchalmers: It is a shame you have not paid attention to the whole argument. The onus of proof is on you as there is a consensus amongst western and eastern scholarship on the universally accepted statement that Hamza was talking about. Rational deduction is method that he uses to make logical conclusions as the other possible sources for the Quran do not provide comprehensive answers. You have to show how your argument is provides a comprehensive answer.

[lightuponlight7]

The Qur'an is most certainly a miracle. Hes quoting wester scholars to show that not only Muslim scholars appreciate the Qur'ans inimitibilty.

His argument is quite clear and proves Islams Truth.

@sahibhihihihihihihi How can you love someone who threatens you with physical violence?

@PureSymmetry

Also, if you study the history the Arabs during the time of Prophet Mohammad were the masters in the arabic language. They used to even challenge each other with poetry in the markets. When the Quranic versus came the pagan arabs could not believe how these words were put together. It was beyond anything they have ever heard. You can find out more at the Hamza's website: theinimitablequran

I hope this helps you.

Masha'Allah great talk again by brother Hamza.

May Allah succeed him in his works. 'Ameen.

Jazakamullah khair for the upload.

Salamu 'Alaikum.

Isnt the challenge of the Quran subjective? the challenge is to bring a surah like it, but who is the final arbiter? Who judges and how do we know that the judge is qualified and impartial?

[MWcrazyhorse]

try this then /watch?v=uQg6x-K82IA if your belief can withstand listening to a kafir for 5minutes with an open mind.

[indimaya]
