Helpful commentary for Muslims & Christians

This commentary is very helpful for those who are learning the authentic divine message in the Qur'an, why it has a poetic feel but is not poetry, and the difference between faith in God and false belief in the occult.

One reason the Qur'an seems like poetry is that it is, as this commentator points out, conversation of God with the Prophet (PBUH) through the archangel Gabriel. Translation of divine message and thoughts into words is going to be very poetic in sound. The difference is that the poetic beauty is derived from the eternal authenticity of any communication that comes from the one true God, instead of human made "poetry" which is an expression of transitory feelings based on a desire to evoke human art and emotions.
