Translations:Yirmi Sekizinci Mektup/285/en

I want to say in this connection that this wonder of the Qur’an proceeding from its miraculousness is not similar in kind to its miraculous eloquence, or equal in degree. For that is beyond human power. But this wonder of its miraculousness could not occur through human power either; human power could not intervene in such a matter. If it did, it would be artificial and spoil it.(*^[1])

↑ *In one copy, on a page of the Eighteenth Sign of the Nineteenth Letter, the word “Qur’an” coincided nine times in this way. We drew a line through these and the word “Muhammad” appeared. Then on the opposite the page, the word “Qur’an” appeared eight times, and from all these the name of “Allah” emerged. Many wondrous things like these have been observed in the coincidences. We saw them with our own eyes. Signed: Bekir, Tevfik, Suleyman, Galib, Said
