Hasan Abd al-Fattah Ahmad is a contemporary Islamic scholar and researcher in Quranic studies, known for his treatise Inayat al-Muslimin bi-Ibraz Wujuh al-Ijaz fi al-Quran al-Karim (Muslims' Care in Highlighting the Facets of Inimitability in the Noble Quran) .
Scholarly Focus
Ahmad's scholarly work centers on Quranic sciences and the historical engagement of Muslim scholarship with the doctrine of Quranic inimitability (i'jaz) . In Inayat al-Muslimin bi-Ibraz Wujuh al-Ijaz fi al-Quran al-Karim, he examines the definition of miracles, the theological foundations of i'jaz, and the division between single and multiple facets of miraculousness .
He categorizes these aspects into intrinsic textual elements—grounded in Arabic rhetoric and discourse—and cosmological elements, which pertain to natural and scientific phenomena referenced within the text . Ahmad also addresses historical critiques and contested theories, analyzing how refutations of doctrines such as al-sarfa (the assertion that humanity was merely diverted by divine intervention from matching the text rather than lacking the capacity) stimulated the systemic development of Arabic rhetoric (balaghah) and related Quranic disciplines .
