Abstract

The oldest works of Muslim scholars in the fields of kalam, ḥadith and tafsir during the 2nd and 3rd centuries AH rarely offer an explicit basis for regarding the Qur’an as an inimitable miracle of the Prophet. However, the issue appears fully fledged in the works of scholars such as al-Baqillani, Qaḍi ‘Abd al-Jabbar and al-Sharif al-Murtaḍa. This silence in the early Islamic centuries, when considered side by side with the profusion of other Qur’anic discussions in the same period, raises the question of when and under what conditions the early Muslim scholars began to deal with the subject of IJAZ AL-QUR’AN. The essay identifies two factors that gave impetus to the emergence and development of theories about the Qur’an’s inimitability: first, CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM POLEMICS about the signs of Muhammad’s prophecy, and second, the literary and theological endeavors of the Mutazilis of Baghdad and Basra.After initiating discussion and speculation about the nature of the Qur’an’s inimitability, some Mutazili theologians extended the scope of the topic during the 4th century, until it assumed the form of a bona fide Qur’anic issue in tafasir. From the beginning of the 5th century until the present, speculation about the ijaz and its nature became a common feature of theological and exegetic works for all Islamic sects.
