The Nature and Structure of Miracles of the Quran from Khataei and Jorjani's point of view

Miracles of the Quran are those of the key issues disscused by the thinkers. Abusoleiman Khataei and Abdolghaher Jorjani are considered as the leading figures of the field that have paid close attention to the miracle aspect of the Quran in terms of poetry. The present study is meant to examine Khataei and Jorjani s views on the miracles of the Quran based on a descriptive-analytic approach and through comparing and critiquing. Khataei holds that the nature of the Quran is in a way that if a word of it is replaced with another word, the word will lose its intended meaning or its glory, and therefore, its rhetoric will go away. On the other hand, Jorjani holds that the structure of the Quran is related to the poetic aspect of it. He believes that the poetic aspect can be understood through the structural meanings, and this understanding is possible through a nice selection. He also believes that a word in the poetry is a function of semantic. Moreover, the relation between the words, unlike structural relations, does not lead to poetry, yet it is the order of the meaning and their structures in the mind of the speaker that makes poetry. Both Khataei and Jorjani accept the effect of the miracle of the Quran, but they see its uniqueness in its poetry. Considering these two thinkers’ ideas, we can understand that Khataei’s approach in Albayan is rhetoric, but that of Jorjani in Dalaelolejaz is structural and rhetoric as well as artistic. In fact, Jorjani has perfected the poetic thought in a way that, at present, many consider it as the most important aspect of the miracle.
