A cool look at the incredible detail in the Quran's wording
Hey everyone, sometimes it hits me just how deep and exact the Quran is-every word feels perfectly placed. So I wanted to share a quick example that shows this (and there are so many more out there). The Quran says about those who are martyred in the way of Allah: **“And do not say about those who are killed in the cause of Allah, ‘They are dead.’ Rather, they are alive…” - Quran 2:154** So martyrs are alive in Allah’s sight, not spoken of as dead. And the Quran totally sticks to this rule. Take Yahya (John the Baptist) عليه السلام, who was killed: **“And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.” - Quran 19:15** See that? It says *“he dies”* in the future tense-talking about him like he’s still alive. Same in another ayah: **“And Zechariah, John, Jesus, and Elias-all were of the righteous.” - Quran 6:85** Again, present tense, not speaking of them as if they’ve passed away. Now check out how it talks about other prophets: For Lut عليه السلام: **“And We admitted him into Our mercy. Indeed, he was of the righteous.” - Quran 21:75** (past tense) For Nuh عليه السلام: **“Indeed, he was a grateful servant.” - Quran 17:3** (past tense) Other references: - Sulayman عليه السلام (34:14): “When We decreed death upon him…” - Ya‘qub عليه السلام (2:133): “When death approached Jacob…” - Yusuf عليه السلام (40:34): “Until, when death came to him…” All past tense. It’s just mind-blowing when you think about it. The Quran was revealed over 23 years, orally, yet these patterns stay perfectly consistent. Anyway, thought I’d pass this along-subhanAllah, there’s so much wisdom in every word.
