The Divine Nature of the Quran: A Logical Explanation of the Manifestation Theory

This article, adopting an analytical, critical, and insightful approach and drawing upon a systematic and coherent collection of robust, solid, and multifaceted arguments, endeavors to expound and substantiate the central viewpoint of "the manifestation of the psychic word in a verbal form." It introduces this fundamental and insightful perspective as the most deserving, comprehensive, and congruent ultimate and definitive explanation in the accurate and holistic understanding of the sublime nature of the Holy Quran within the realm of Islamic thought. In this vein, the article, by firmly and reliably citing the unequivocal and enlightening verses of the Holy Quran, elaborates on the theoretical foundations of the manifestation theory. Subsequently, through in-depth and critical analysis of competing theological views and opposing schools of thought – specifically, the doctrines of the Ash'arite and Mu'tazilite schools – it reinforces and fortifies the argumentative underpinnings of the manifestation theory. Moreover, the valuable evidence and weighty support of the endorsements and acknowledgments of renowned and erudite scholars and thinkers throughout the expanse of Islamic intellectual history are considered as a significant affirmation and venerable document for this perspective. Progressing along its line of reasoning, the article, through active engagement with and reasoned and persuasive responses to the most critical questions, ambiguities, and fundamental challenges posed regarding the manifestation theory, and also by judicious and intelligent utilization of the capacities of modern sciences and the findings of human knowledge in subject-related fields, clearly demonstrates that the Wise Quran, in its exalted and towering station, is veritably neither a mere phenomenon created and originated ex nihilo and mutable, nor an eternal being per se and immutable. Rather, the finest and most precise description of its nature is "the unparalleled manifestation and unmediated and evident appearance of an eternal, transcendent, and perpetual truth in the body and structure of human language." This profound and meaningful approach, while completely eliminating and dispelling any logical inconsistencies and contradictions and resolving fundamental dilemmas and ambiguities in understanding the nature of the Quran, is founded upon full harmony, flawless congruence, and deep consonance with the original and miraculous text of the Quran, the firm and authoritative Sunnah of the Prophet and the Imams (peace be upon them), and the clear and unequivocal verdict of sound reason. Ultimately, it lucidly explicates and interprets the cause and wisdom of the unparalleled and everlasting miracle of the Quran in the miraculous confluence and unique unity of two distinct and differentiated existential orders, namely, the infinite divine realm and the finite human mold.
