Signification of Sounds in the Holy Quran: (A Case Study of Surah of Najm and Ghamar)

From a long time ago, religious scholars have been competing to best determine the very miracles of the Holy Quran. From among these scholars some have tended to its language, style and structure while some other have been absorbed by its scientific miracles. The present study is an attempt to analyze one of these miracles, i.e. miracle of sound. Quran was first revealed unto Muhammad (PBUH) in the form of sounds and not that of words and sentences. Miracle of sound is one of the most beautiful Quranic miracles. The final sections of the Holy Quran address issues related to Islamic beliefs like faith in Prophet Muhammad's invitation and the Resurrection Day. The suras in these sections are especially important because of their sound features. This paper tries to investigate these sound features in suras of Najm and Ghamar, using a descriptive-analytic approach. The result of the study showed that there is a complete match between the frequency of sounds and their signification in these two suras; this phenomenon is called miracle of sound.
