Document Summary
Rhyme and rhythm are very common in the qur"an. Genre matters meaning peoples ideology changes depending on the work they write. When people write within a particular genre, they use other mothers in that genre. Rhyme is not emphasized in the study of the quran. In islamic studies, modern discipline and medieval literate the quran answers accusations that the prophet was . Mohammed says he isn"t a poet and he isn"t crazy. People took that to mean that we need o separate the quran from poetry and we need to take it away from a way that is seen similar to poetry. Arabic poetry is quantitative certain combinations of short and certain syllables. When they looked at the quran, they saw it didn"t work so the rhythm of the quran was unable to explain. Not all of the quran is in composition but decent proportion is. The prodigy is not described in the same hing as poetry.
