In this lecture, Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera explores the unparalleled eloquence of the Qur’an and its enduring impact on hearts, minds, and civilizations. He begins by introducing the concept of balāghah (eloquence) in the Arabic tradition, explaining how the Qur’an’s language transcends ordinary speech, poetry, and prose. Unlike human expression, the Qur’an’s style seamlessly combines clarity, depth, rhythm, and beauty in a way that captivates both experts in rhetoric and ordinary listeners.

Dr. Mangera highlights how the Qur’an challenged the master poets and linguists of Arabia—renowned for their mastery of language—yet none were able to produce anything comparable. He illustrates this through examples of Qur’anic verses where a few words carry layers of meaning, evoke powerful imagery, and convey profound guidance.

The lecture also emphasizes the Qur’an’s timelessness: while human literature fades with changing tastes and eras, the Qur’an continues to resonate across languages and cultures. Its eloquence is not merely aesthetic; it is purposeful, moving hearts toward reflection, humility, and transformation.

Concluding his talk, Dr. Mangera reminds the audience that the Qur’an’s eloquence is one of its living miracles, a divine sign that invites believers and skeptics alike to engage with its words and witness for themselves the power of revelation.
