The Quran is a Treasury of Divine Knowledge:
From this verse, it is understood that the Quran is a repository of divine knowledge. Through revelation, man was informed of matters for which he had no means of knowing, such as timely information about the conspiracies of enemies, timely help for the Muslims, the immediate revelation of divine commands in emergency situations, and many prophecies about the future that are mentioned in the Noble Quran. For example, the dominance of Rome over Persia, the supremacy of the religion of Islam over all other religions, the conditions before and after the Day of Judgment, the resurrection and gathering, and information regarding Paradise and Hell, etc. Another aspect of this divine revelation is that both a beginner and an advanced person benefit from the Quran according to their own capacity. The third aspect is that as a person reflects more and more on the verses of Allah, new realities begin to unfold before him. All these things indicate that Allah Almighty has revealed the Quran from His own knowledge. Just as the vastness of Allah’s knowledge is limitless, so too are the breadth and realities of His speech limitless.
[221] The testimony of the angels is credible in this regard because they are the administrators of affairs, and all matters of the universe are carried out by them with Allah’s permission, and Allah’s word is also revealed through them. Although there is no need for the testimony of the angels, for Allah’s testimony is sufficient in every respect, because He is the Creator and Administrator of everything, and the angels are bound by His command.
