In this article the mystery of the Qur’an emphasizing on the Prophet (S.A.W.) as not being a poet, as well as the reason why the Arabs accused him of being a poet, even though they were proud of poetry themselves, is examined. The interpreters have answered to this question. But is the issue clear enough?
After touching upon the interpreters’ answers, which are in themselves helpful and enlightening, the writer has reviewed the issue with a perceptive sociological outlook, in view of a meaningful social behavior (accusation of being a poet). He has also brought up another aspect of this problem by delving into the culture of the Revelation era and the particular belief of the people of the Paganism period toward the poets.
