Allamah Tabatabai considers the miraculousness of the Quran to be based on two principles: miraculousness certainly exists and the Quran is one of the instances of miracles. In contrast, Javadi Amoli derives the miraculousness of the Quran through syllogism. Similarly, Javadi Amoli believes that no language can translate the Quran and translation ruins and reduces its subtleties. Thus, he has replaced the translation of the verses with selected exegesis. The other difference between the two exegetes is that Allamah Tabatabai does not consider eloquence to be limited merely to words; rather, it includes both words and meanings. However, Javadi Amoli in a way emphasizes only the meaning and acknowledges that the Arabs had words but the words did not have these exalted meanings. Comparing the foundations of these two exegetes shows that they share a common view regarding the miraculous nature of the Quran; however, there is a difference in the explanation and details of these exegetic foundations between the student and teacher. The most important goal of this article is to probe and analyze the source of this difference in opinion. In this paper, the views of the abovementioned exegetes regarding the basis of the miraculousness of the Quran have been studied using a comparative method.
