The Language of the Quran and its Characteristics from the Viewpoint of Allamah Mesbah

There are different opinions about the language of the Quran and its characteristics, as one of the examples of the language of religion. Some authors find this language meaningless, unreal, mythical, allegorical, and so on; some others consider the language of the Quran, only in some verses, the language of a certain custom. These opinions are sometimes different, and in some cases contradictory to each other. This paper seeks to explain Allamah Mesbah's viewpoint about the Quranic language. According to his works, the language of the Quran in their view, in general, is the same as mores; the common language of the wise people, and of course there are some differences. In this language, as the common language of the wise people, a variety of literary techniques such as metaphor, figurative expression and proverb have been used so that the language of the Quran is always at the height of eloquence and rhetoric and this is a remarkable aspect of the miracle of the Quran. On the other hand, there are other opinions about the language of the Quran, which consider it as allegorical, mythical, and so on. Of course, in the opinion of the professor, the language of the Quran has some characteristics that distinguish it from the ordinary human language. Universality, in terms of verisimilitude, the real foundation, lack of condemned expediency, and being multi-layered (having hidden meaning) are among them.
