Abstract:
This research aims to briefly introduce the exegete Al-Kafiyaji, provide an overview of the manuscript under study, and highlight the major issues discussed by the author in the manuscript. It focuses on the verification of "Nayl Al-Maram" in relation to the verse: (then produce a surah the like of it), as written by Imam Muhyi Ad-Din Al-Kafiyaji, who passed away in 879 AH. The research follows a documentary approach in the verification process, alongside an analytical method used in scientific research. Key Findings: The significance of Nayl al-Maram by Imam Al-Kafiyaji lies in the exegete’s focus on uncovering the eloquence of the Quran and the secret behind its miraculous nature. He successfully integrates various aspects of rhetoric in his tafsir (interpretation). The perfect connection between the verses :( Worship your Lord who created you) and (And if you are in doubt). The first verse provides evidence for the existence and oneness of the Creator, while the second establishes proof for the Prophethood of our Master Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him. Both are pillars of faith, inseparable from each other, and there are many other instances of such connections in the text. The pronoun in (a surah the like) refers to both the revealed text (the Quran) and its recipient (the unlettered Prophet Peace Be upon Him). This strengthens and clarifies the miraculous nature of the Quran.
