Ma`rifat

Abstract Speech is kind of act and people observe some principles in speech. One of these principles is avoiding verbosity. A speaker always talking more than needed makes the audience tired and confused. Such speech lacks rationality. In fact, words should not distract the audience from the main purpose of speech. Some orientalists raise doubts about the Qur'an to show that the Qur'an has not adhered to the principle of avoiding verbosity. They also present evidence for this claim. Muslims regard the Qur’an as the word of God, so they expect the Qur’an not to show any verbosity. Using library method and analyzing the works of Muslim Quranologists and orientalists, the authors concluded that the claim of verbosity in the Qur'an is not true; because this book has been revealed by the source of knowledge and wisdom. The reason for raising these doubts is the orientalists’ misunderstanding about the Qur'an or their enmity with Islam.
