Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. Brothers and sisters and friends, welcome to this video, may the peace
and blessings of Allah be upon every single one of you. In this video, I'm going to be summarizing
the linguistic and literary miraculous nature or the linguistic and literary inevitability of the
Quran, its shortest chapter al Kalfa that abundance.

profound response to an unplanned set of circumstances. You must use 10 letters in each line. And
you can use them many times but only 10 letters. And you must only use 10 letters once in the entire

amendment in absence of any formal training in eloquence and rhetoric? Impossible as this may seem,
this is exactly what the Quran miraculously achieved in its shortest chapter al cow thought the
